Abstract: A system and method for providing feedback to a patient caregiver is provided that receives information on a periodic basis, such as every hospital shift, performs a parametric analysis on the treatment given with known standards that are stored in a database, and generates a report that identifies whether the care that is being given is consistent or inconsistent with the guidelines. A source of the guidelines is provided so that a physician can consult with the source information, if desired. The patient data may be entered in by the caregiver, and the feedback may be provided to the caregiver, via a portable device, such as a mobile telephone or PDA (personal digital assistant).
