  • Patent number: 8521538
    Abstract: A system and method of assisting a care provider in the documentation of self-performance and support information for a resident or person includes a speech dialog with a care provider that uses the generation of speech to play to the care provider and the capture of speech spoken by a care provider. The speech dialog provides assistance to the care provider in providing care for a person according to a care plan for the person. The care plan includes one or more activities requiring a level of performance by the person. For the activity, speech inquiries are provided to the care provider, through the speech dialog, regarding performance of the activity by the person and regarding care provider assistance in the performance of the activity by the person. Speech input is captured from the care provider that is responsive to the speech inquiries. A code is then determined from the speech input and the code indicates the self-performance of the person and support information for a care provider for the activity.
