  • Patent number: 11900290
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for generating a predictive display on a graphical user interface. The method includes benchmarking performance of a hospital by evaluating metrics of departments within the hospital. The method includes obtaining current facility utilization information for each of the departments within the hospital. The method includes displaying, on a user interface, a graphical display of the current facility utilization information for each of the departments. The method includes receiving a user selection of a second time that is a future time relative to the current time. The method includes calculating at least one predictive utilization level of the departments at the second time. The method includes calculating a difference between the predictive utilization level and the current utilization level. The method includes adjusting the at least one visual attribute of the graphical representation according to the calculated difference. Other aspects are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11250946
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated routing in a facility. A system may comprise at least one processor, and a storage medium comprising executable instructions to configure the processor to receive first data associated with a condition of an individual, search a database in communication with the at least one processor to identify second data for a set of milestones associated with the condition, select, based on the set of milestones, a plurality of locations in the facility corresponding to the set of milestones, receive, from the database, third data associated with performance metrics of the plurality of locations, determine a sequence of the set of milestones and a path through the plurality of locations, the path being determined by correlating the performance metrics to milestones in the set of milestones, and generate for display a graphical user interface illustrating the determined sequence and determined path.

  • Patent number: 11244756
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods are provided for requesting and monitoring optimal patient transport. In embodiments, a system for monitoring optimal patient transport may comprise at least one processor configured to receive transfer request data from an initial user for a patient and determine relevant patient and relevant patient data based on the transfer request data. The at least one processor may be configured to transmit a transfer request to one or more transport providers, receive and store one or more transportation quotes from one or more transport providers through a bid process that is set for a specific time interval, and analyze received one or more transportation quote with previously stored transportation quotes. The at least one processor may further determine winning transport provider and pending transport data, and generate instructions to display a user interface depicting a first representation of a pending transport at a first time.

  • Patent number: 9047873
    Abstract: A self-contained breathing and communication apparatus is described that can facilitate communication between a first user and a second user. A microphone can record sound when the first user speaks. The microphone can convert the recorded sound to a voice signal. A voice activity detection processor can detect spoken words and informative sounds of the first user from the converted voice signal. For this detection, the voice activity detection processor can remove noise from the voice signal. A voice-to-text processor can convert the detected words and informative sounds to a text message. A transmitter of the transmitting module can transmit the text message to a receiver of the second user via a communication network. A display device of the second user can display the text message on a graphical user interface. Related methods, apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8474691
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a processor configured to at least perform or cause the apparatus to at least perform a number of functions. The functions include storing an order log for a fill order specifying a medication in a receptacle including an affixed label having a printed pattern of machine-readable dots or markings. The functions also include receiving a digitized signature, initials or marking handwritten on the label and captured by a digital pen based on the pattern printed on the label. The digital pen is registered to a user, and the signature/initials/marking reflects verification by the user that the medication in the receptacle is correct. Recording the events or activities also includes authenticating the user as having authority to verify the fill order based on the registration of the digital pen to the user, and when authenticated, recording the digitized signature/initials/marking in the order log.
