  • Patent number: 11403593
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to assigning a healthcare clinician to provide care to a patient. This disclosure describes tracking the location of a healthcare clinician. Based on the tracking, a resource-consumption score for a patient is generated. The resource-consumption score is used to predict whether a clinician has the capacity to be assigned to the patient. The clinician is assigned to patients based on predicted capacity.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210206810
    Abstract: A detection of optimal genetic recombinants used to prepare target proteins, with assessment of their target-specific “upstream” productivity, genetic stability and means to optimize target protein “downstream” purification using customizable fluorescent tags. A scarless removable protein fusion makes it possible to identify recombinants of Pichia pastoris with optimal performance in heterologous protein production.

  • Patent number: 10515428
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to assigning a healthcare clinician to provide care to a patient. For example, a GUI is provided that includes contextual information relevant to the assignment and that allows a user to electronically create the assignment. Relevant information includes a list of clinicians, a list of patients, and an estimate of the amount of resources required to provide care to a patient. In addition, this disclosure describes tracking the status of a healthcare clinician, such as primary provider, secondary provider, and on-break. Status might be tracked by capturing an image of a display board, which supports clinician barcodes that are movable to desired locations within a depiction of a healthcare facility (e.g., floor plan laid out using barcodes).

  • Patent number: 10220141
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media for transitioning a clinical care room from a first scene to a second scene in order to facilitate completion of a real-world activity are provided. The first scene in the clinical care room is presented where the clinical care room has one or more zones. The first scene is associated with a first group of setting for components within the one or more zones. An input corresponding to the real-world activity is received. Incident to receiving the input, the second scene is provided. The second scene is associated with a second group of settings for the components. The second group of setting is optimized to facilitate completion of the real-world activity.

  • Patent number: 8972297
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein allow greater access to a banking platform via a mobile device. The customer can initiate a financial transaction using a mobile device, a bank can inform the customer of the nearest financial transaction terminal to perform that service, and the customer can complete that financial transaction at the financial transaction terminal using the mobile device as a user interface. While conventional systems may use a mobile device to transmit payment information at a point of sale terminal of a brick-and-mortar merchant, the embodiments described herein can allow a customer to conduct a transaction at a financial transaction terminal using the mobile device to initiate a transaction at a location away from a financial transaction terminal, to locate the nearest financial transaction terminal providing the required services, and as a user interface while communicating with the financial transaction terminal.

  • Publication number: 20140012597
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and graphical user interfaces for automatically populating a dashboard with aggregate data are provided. In embodiments, a dashboard associated with a plurality of rooms in a hospital unit is displayed on a touchscreen monitor. Unit data associated with the plurality of rooms including unit description, current shift, charge nurse, clinician names, and clinician numbers is received. Patient data associated with a patient in each of the plurality of rooms is received. The patient data includes location, name, sex, age, and length of stay. The dashboard is automatically populated in real-time with the unit data and the patient data. One or more alerts associated with a patient in one of the plurality of rooms are received. One or more visual cues associated with one or more alerts are displayed on the dashboard.

  • Publication number: 20120245948
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to estimating a quantity of resources that are consumed or expended when providing care to a patient. When estimating the quantity, non-clinical information might be used to draw various inferences. For example, information provided by a real-time location system might provide insight (e.g., duration, frequency, etc.) into instances in which a healthcare clinician visits a patient's room. In another example, information provided by a medical-device alarm system might provide insight into alarms that are triggered by equipment that monitors and/or provides assistance to a patient.

  • Patent number: 4226896
    Abstract: A plasma process for forming a polymer film containing metal therein includes the steps of providing an electrode of a metal that can be etched by a halogen, providing a substrate for the polymer film to be deposited thereon, and passing a halocarbon monomer through a plasma system so that the metal etched from the electrode forms a volatile halide and is incorporated in the polymer film that is deposited on the substrate.
