Patent number: 11403593Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: October 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Mark Allen Nolte, Rajneesh Mehra, Brice McIver, Terng Lim, Eric Kays, Henri McCracken

Patent number: 10515428Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Mark Allen Nolte, Rajneesh Mehra, Brice McIver, Terng Lim, Eric Kays, Henri McCracken

Patent number: 10220141Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Stephanie Palmer Bechtel, Mark Nolte, Eric Kays, Scott Gordon Siebers, Greg Mitchem

Publication number: 20140012597Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: MARK NOLTE, ERIC KAYS, RAJNEESH MEHRA, JOHN VOLKENS, CASSIE LYN BAHR

Publication number: 20120245948Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2011Publication date: September 27, 2012Inventors: MARK ALLEN NOLTE, Rajneesh Mehra, Brice Mciver, Terng Lim, Eric Kays, Henri McCracken
