  • Publication number: 20250090796
    Abstract: A catheterization system including a catheterization container and a Foley catheter in the catheterization container. The catheterization container can include a layout and/or arrangement of components that may help reduce CAUTI rates by facilitating ease of use and aiding in proper aseptic technique during insertion. The catheterization container may include various implements, compartments, and components necessary and/or helpful to a catheterization procedure.

  • Publication number: 20230259850
    Abstract: For automatically presenting productivity metrics, a method calculates a current productivity pace for task codes, wherein each productivity pace is measured in output units per input units. The method predicts a needed productivity pace to complete the task codes. The method predicts a productivity delta comprising a difference in input units required to complete each task code and budgeted input units. The method automatically presents presenting productivity metrics with a greatest predicted productivity delta based on organization data, the productivity metrics comprising at least one of the current productivity pace, the needed productivity pace, and the productivity delta.

  • Publication number: 20220343356
    Abstract: For distributed incentive management, a server trains a neural network. An origination device creates an incentive record and an authentication record. The incentive record is communicated from the origination device to a recipient device. In response to the milestone being completed, the recipient devices communicate a milestone confirmation to the origination device through the network that the milestone is complete. The recipient device notifies an authentication device. The authentication device authenticates the milestone in response to the authentication device being at a task location and a biometric match. In response to the origination device storing the incentive record comprising both the milestone confirmation and a status authenticating the completion of the milestone based on the biometric match of the recorded biometric at the task location from the authentication device, transferring a payment of the incentive amount to a financial account stored in the incentive record.

  • Patent number: 10872317
    Abstract: For managing a biometric punch-in system, a method captures training biometrics for a plurality of users. The method further trains a biometric algorithm with the training biometrics. The method presents a threshold user interface to an administrator that compares one or more identification biometrics that do not satisfy a match threshold for the plurality of users and a match threshold control for adjusting the match threshold. The method further adjusts the match threshold in response to the match threshold control. The method determines a match level for the identification biometric based on the biometric algorithm. In response to the match level not satisfying the match threshold, the method presents an attendance user interface including punch-in/punch-out times, corresponding identification biometrics and match levels, and attendance information for the first user, wherein suspect identification biometrics are highlighted.

  • Publication number: 20200013080
    Abstract: For distributed incentive management, an origination device creates an incentive record comprising a milestone that specifies a quantifiable portion of a task, a target completion time, an incentive amount for completing the milestone, a status, a recipient record, and an authentication record, the authentication record comprising an authentication address of an authentication device of an authenticator distinct from a recipient of the recipient device, wherein the origination device, the authentication device, and the recipient device are each distinct devices. In response to the incentive record storing both the milestone confirmation confirming the completion of the milestone from the recipient device and the status authenticating the completion of the milestone from the authentication device, the origination device transfers a payment of the incentive amount to a financial account stored in the incentive record.

  • Publication number: 20150206163
    Abstract: For managing incentives, a management module creates an incentive record that includes a milestone, a target completion time, and an incentive amount. A communication module communicates the incentive record to a recipient device and receives a confirmation from the recipient device. The communication module further receives a status from an authenticator device. The management module confirms a completion of the milestone and the communication module transfers a payment in response to confirming the completion of the milestone.
