Abstract: Described herein are an apparatus and a corresponding method for monitoring and evaluating personnel (staff member) in a congregate care or medical facility. The apparatus includes circuitry that is configured to assign a task to a staff member and compute a time delay incurred by the staff member in commencing the task. The circuitry authenticates the staff member and monitors a location of the staff member and a patient assisted by the staff member, to determine a displacement of the location of the staff member with respect to the location of the patient. The circuitry updates an overall score of the staff member based on the computed time delay, the determined displacement being above a first threshold, and a number of times the staff member is reported, and further recommends a type of training session for the staff member based on the overall score being lower than a predetermined score threshold.
