Abstract: A task management system uses patient tags (e.g., wireless RFID, Infrared tracking, GPS etc.) for patient location tracking, together with an integrated workflow system to automatically, track patient location how long they have been there and how many patients are at the same location (e.g., waiting room) and manages waiting time and an overall waiting queue, supporting automated adjustment of healthcare staffing, patient flows, and team coordination. A task management system for use in providing healthcare to a patient includes a patient tracking processor and a workflow processor. The patient tracking processor automatically acquires data derived by wireless communication from patient attached tag devices for use in identifying a location of multiple patients in a healthcare enterprise and identifying a first number of patients at a particular location and a second number of patients awaiting receiving a particular type of treatment.

Abstract: A physician order entry user interface system facilitates resolution of a problem associated with an order for a treatment to be administered to a patient. A user interface system for use in managing orders for providing treatment for a patient, includes a display processor for initiating generation of data representing a display image. The display image includes, a first user selectable image element indicating an order for a particular treatment to be provided to a particular patient is to be retained and a second user selectable image element indicating the order for the particular treatment to be provided to the particular patient is to be revoked. An order processor updates stored order representative records to indicate the order for the particular treatment to be provided to the particular patient is cancelled in response to user selection of the second user selectable image element.
