Abstract: Provided are systems and processes for adjusting signal strength for medical appointment progress tracking. According to various examples, a method is provided which comprises transmitting, via an antenna of a transceiver, a wireless signal within a medical examination room such that a location within the medical examination room is within a coverage area of the wireless signal. A plurality of checkpoints are identified within the medical examination room, and the strength of the wireless signal is measured at each checkpoint. An amount to adjust the gain of an amplifier coupled to the antenna is determined. The amount may be determined based on the strength of the wireless signal measured at each checkpoint. The strength of the wireless signal is adjusted based on the determined amount such that the coverage area includes a desired wireless signal strength.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for a physician efficiency management system. According to various examples, the system includes a location sensor that gathers logged medical examination times and logged examination duration times for appointments within a selected time frame. The system also includes a medical schedule processor that compares the logged medical examination times and logged examination duration times to corresponding scheduled appointment times and allotted examination times to determine which of the appointments were behind schedule or overran their allotted duration. The medical schedule processor then generates an efficiency report that includes statistics reflecting the number of appointments that were behind schedule or overran their allotted durations for the selected time frame, and amounts that late appointments ran behind schedule and amounts that appointments overran their allotted times.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for medical appointment progress tracking. According to various examples, the system includes a location sensor that tracks when a medical professional begins an examination of a patient by detecting when the medical professional logs into a computer to access the first patient's medical file. The system also includes a medical schedule processor that logs this time and compares this time with scheduling information to predict whether future appointments on that day will be delayed. The scheduling information is cryptographically separated from Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) information. The system further includes a notification interface that notifies upcoming patients if their appointments will be substantially delayed.
