Abstract: Systems and techniques for task management and communication are disclosed. In one implementation, input indicating configurations to use to generate a task is received from a first client device. The task is generated using the configurations, in which the task is indicative of one or more actions to perform with respect to a patient of a health care system. A task record associated with the task is stored within a database of the health care system. The task record indicates a user of the health care system to which the task is assigned. Thereafter, further input indicating a change in status of the task is received from a second client device. The task record is updated according to the second input. A notification indicative of the updated task record is then transmitted to the first client device. Other implementations include using a smart recommendation engine, processing supplies, and more.
