Abstract: Computer implemented methods and apparatuses of managing patient care in a hospital. Machine readable instructions, when executed, provide a first rounding list to a first hospitalist, provide a second rounding list to a second hospitalist, communicate a status of a first set of multiple patients from the first hospitalist to the second hospitalist, communicate a status of a second set of multiple patients from the second hospitalist to the first hospitalist, capture work efforts of each hospitalist, capture billing information of the hospitalists, and provide the rounding lists to at least one hospital administrator. In some embodiments, patients are tracked, for example, using GPS, and current patient location is reported, for instance, to the hospitalist.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods of, and apparatuses for, managing patient care through an emergency department of a hospital. Healthcare practitioners are prompted through a computer for a medical diagnosis from a list of diagnoses, for patient conditions pertinent to the diagnosis, and for treatment orders, which can include a medical or medication prescription. The system determines whether sufficient patient conditions have been evaluated to support third party payment for admitting the patient to the hospital if so ordered, automatically contacts an in-patient care practitioner at the hospital, and initiates a process to find a bed for the patient. The practitioner is prompted to issue treatment orders and medication dosages can be automatically checked. Data entered by different practitioners can be compared and shared. Faster and more consistent patient care can be achieved and healthcare costs that are not reimbursed can be minimized.

Abstract: An electronic physician's order sheet (EPOS) provides means for a physician to select or enter diagnoses and to automatically receive suggestions for medications and treatments. The physician can select from amongst the suggestions, select alternate medications and treatments, or input and select different medications or treatments. The EPOS can alert the physician to possible drug interactions, allergic reactions, or other alarming situations. The physician can then sign the EPOS to formally issue orders for treatment and medications. The EPOS can be integrated with billing systems, pharmacy systems, and other systems to help automate the processes of drug delivery, invoicing, and patient care.

Abstract: A low-profile wrench. An elongate, axially asymmetric housing encloses two turning members have axes of rotation that are angled with respect to one another. One of the turning members, whose axis is oriented in the elongate dimension of the housing, receives a turning force and transmits the turning force to the other turning member. The second turning member is adapted to be coupled to a fastener, for turning the fastener.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the invention is a brake system comprised of a primary source of air under pressure, and independent secondary source of air under pressure, a primary relay, a secondary relay valve, a device for actuating the service brakes, a device for actuating the park brakes and a control device, and a plurality of brake assemblies. The primary relay receives air under pressure only from the primary source and the secondary relay receives air under pressure only from the secondary source, but the other components are so arranges as to achieve complete system redundancy in operation at the source level, the brake level, the hose level, and at the actuation level.
