  • Patent number: 8768741
    Abstract: A user interface for use in, e.g., a healthcare computing environment, for displaying an item of work in a workflow context associated with a particular resource is provided In one embodiment, the user interface includes a first workflow context display area configured to display a current workflow state of the item of work and at least one of a past workflow state and a potential future workflow state of the item of work. The user interface may further include a selectable workflow view indicator, whereby following the selectable workflow view indicator allows a user to navigate to a second workflow context display area configured to display an identity of at least one additional resource associated with the item of work and a status of the item of work as it pertains to the additional resource.

  • Patent number: 8000978
    Abstract: Care provider assignments to a patient may be automatically generated based on clinical evidence, documentation, workload, infectious status and other factors. The patient's chart may be accessed by a rules-based engine configured with rules to relate a patient's clinical status and needs to qualifications, certifications, capabilities and skills of care providers to select the care provider best qualified to assign to the patient. For instance, care providers having specialized training may be identified for assignment to patients presenting with specialized needs. Graphical displays of available providers may be displayed to and overridden by a manager. Because patient needs are automatically aligned with provider capabilities, availability and other factors, the errors, oversights and inefficiencies of manual or informal assignment systems are avoided and better health care delivery can be realized.
