Abstract: A clinical information management system. The clinical information management system is implemented by allocating 310 resources and conducting 320 medical procedures. The data from allocating the resources and conducting medical procedures is collected 330 in a database. After the completion of each medical procedure, work and cost reduction opportunities are identified 340 to establish 350 a benchmark for the average utilization of resources for a particular type of procedure once a benchmark is established, particular types of procedures may be standardized 360 to include only the necessary resources which are then requisitioned 370 for future procedures. Data is collected and stored for a clinical procedure. Waste and cost reduction opportunities are identified; resulting in the establishment of a benchmark. The clinical procedure is then standardized based upon the benchmark. Resources are requisitioned based upon the standardized procedure.

Abstract: A key cover comprises a hinged frame and two removably insertable insignia plates for bearing an identifying mark or logo. The frame has a recess for accommodating the head of the key and a locking means which retains the cover on the key head when the frame is folded over onto itself. The insignia plates include bosses which extend through the key ring hole of the key, for preventing the key from pivoting within the cover. The plates are inserted into openings in the frame, the key blade is inserted between the hinges and the frame is folded over onto itself. Pressure on the frame engages the locking means, which retains the cover on the key head.
