Abstract: A system identifies multiple medical conditions, observations, and laboratory test results using active sensors and predetermined rules to identify infected patients. An infection control and workflow management system includes a repository of worker information identifying healthcare workers for performing infection control tasks as well as worker associated communication data for use in informing healthcare workers of infection control tasks to be performed. A detection processor automatically detects infection in patients from multiple different sources including from at least one of, (a) a medical record evaluated upon admission of a patient to a hospital and (b) a laboratory test result. A workflow processor uses the worker information for automatically communicating a message to inform a healthcare worker of a task to be performed to initiate infection control tasks using communication data in response to detection of an infected patient.

Abstract: A Workflow Management System is integrated with a Healthcare Information System and uses location tracking of patients, providers and resources in addition to relevant patient data in managing tasks of clinicians associated with care of a patient. A personnel and device location sensitive system for managing healthcare worker tasks includes a tracking processor. The tracking processor monitors healthcare worker, patient and equipment location, to provide device and personnel location data by detection of wirelessly communicating tag devices attached to healthcare workers, patients and equipment. A display processor uses the location data for initiating generation of data representing at least one display image associating a work task, comprising providing a treatment related service to a patient, for performance by a healthcare worker, with a current location of a patient and equipment to be used in providing the treatment related service.

Abstract: A Workflow Management System is integrated with a Healthcare Information System to perform compliance contemporaneously with change in patient conditions. A medical treatment compliance monitoring system includes an input processor for receiving information identifying a patient and a medical condition of the patient. A workflow task processor provides a healthcare worker with information indicating treatment activity to be performed for the patient. The treatment activity conforms with recommended guidelines for treating the medical condition. The workflow task processor also prompts the healthcare worker to complete documentation, indicating an action taken by the healthcare worker in treating the patient, and documenting compliance with the recommended guidelines. The healthcare worker is prompted to complete the documentation at a time substantially close to the time of the action being taken by the healthcare worker.
