Abstract: A system and method for documenting critical tasks in a complex work environment using a computer to track the critical tasks from assignment to completion. The flow of accountability is tracked from the assignment of critical tasks to the completion and reporting of the performance of the tasks. The system creates a probe containing a set of mutually exclusive statements pertaining to a critical task, transmits the probe to field personnel, receives an input from the field personnel corresponding to a selected one of the mutually exclusive statements, receives a location identifying signal corresponding to a location of the field personnel when responding to the probe, and saves the input and the location identifying signal as a permanent transcript. The system reviews the transcript to determine whether certain alert codes are present, and then triggers predefined actions based on the presence of the alert codes.

Abstract: A system and method for documenting critical tasks in a complex work environment using a computer to track the critical tasks from assignment to completion. The flow of accountability is tracked from the assignment of critical tasks to the completion and reporting of the performance of the tasks. The system creates a probe containing a set of mutually exclusive statements pertaining to a critical task, transmits the probe to field personnel, receives an input from the field personnel corresponding to a selected one of the mutually exclusive statements, and saves the input as a permanent transcript. The system reviews the transcript to determine whether certain alert codes are present, and then triggers predefined actions based on the presence of the alert codes. The system alerts other team members when expectations are not met, either because a scheduled input is not received, or because a condition is detected requiring management attention.
