Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for facilitating patient progression toward discharge. Once a plurality of progression steps to be completed prior to discharge of a patient have been identified, the plurality of progression steps are displayed along with an indication of a status of a respective progression step that indicates whether the respective progression step has been satisfied or remains unsatisfied. The selection of a progression step is then received and, in response, information regarding the selected progression step is displayed. Input data regarding at least one progression step may also be received such that the indication of the status of the at least one progression step may be correspondingly updated. Further, an updated discharge date may be determined based upon the plurality of progression steps and the respective status of the plurality of progression steps as updated based upon the input data.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system and computer program product are provided for determining one or more current or future conditions regarding capacity and allocation of resources in an institution. The apparatus enables personnel to utilize predictive tools to identify in real-time or in the near future areas of capacity constraints within the institution. The apparatus includes a processor configured to analyze data which includes information associated with the institution. A portion of the data is generated in real-time during an actual time in which events occur. The processor is capable of using at least a portion of the data to identify current conditions or generate one or more predictions regarding conditions to occur in the future that are associated with resources and capacity of the institution. Also, the processor is capable of analyzing results of the predictions and allocating resources of the institution on the basis of the predicted results.
