  • Patent number: 11403593
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to assigning a healthcare clinician to provide care to a patient. This disclosure describes tracking the location of a healthcare clinician. Based on the tracking, a resource-consumption score for a patient is generated. The resource-consumption score is used to predict whether a clinician has the capacity to be assigned to the patient. The clinician is assigned to patients based on predicted capacity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2022
    Assignee: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.
    Inventors: Mark Allen Nolte, Rajneesh Mehra, Brice McIver, Terng Lim, Eric Kays, Henri McCracken

  • Patent number: 10515428
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to assigning a healthcare clinician to provide care to a patient. For example, a GUI is provided that includes contextual information relevant to the assignment and that allows a user to electronically create the assignment. Relevant information includes a list of clinicians, a list of patients, and an estimate of the amount of resources required to provide care to a patient. In addition, this disclosure describes tracking the status of a healthcare clinician, such as primary provider, secondary provider, and on-break. Status might be tracked by capturing an image of a display board, which supports clinician barcodes that are movable to desired locations within a depiction of a healthcare facility (e.g., floor plan laid out using barcodes).

  • Publication number: 20120245948
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to estimating a quantity of resources that are consumed or expended when providing care to a patient. When estimating the quantity, non-clinical information might be used to draw various inferences. For example, information provided by a real-time location system might provide insight (e.g., duration, frequency, etc.) into instances in which a healthcare clinician visits a patient's room. In another example, information provided by a medical-device alarm system might provide insight into alarms that are triggered by equipment that monitors and/or provides assistance to a patient.
