Claims12
A method for facilitating employee health screening using an application on a computing device, comprising:
- receiving identifying information from an employee via an electronic viewing portal operatively associated to the computing device;
- associating the employee with stored information based on the identifying information;
- determining one or more health screening questions for the employee, wherein the determining comprises:
- identifying, based on stored information for the employee, a default office location for the employee;
- identifying an actual office location for the employee based on either the default office location or an alternate office location provided by the employee;
- requesting acknowledgement from the employee that the employee has approval from the employee's supervisor to visit the actual office location;
- selecting a ruleset corresponding to the actual office location, wherein the ruleset comprises geography-specific health screening rules;
- and
- determining the one or more health screening questions based upon the selected ruleset;
- displaying the one or more health screening questions on a display operatively associated to the electronic viewing portal;
- receiving answers from the employee to the health screening questions;
- determining, using the computing device, a screening result based on the answers from the employee;
- displaying one or more indicators on the electronic viewing portal for viewing by the employee, based on the screening result;
- and
- communicating the screening result from the computing device to an employee badge in real-time, wherein the employee badge is configured to activate or deactivate based on the screening result, and wherein when the badge is activated, the employee has entry access to a work facility and when the badge is deactivated, the employee does not have entry access to the work facility.
A system for facilitating for facilitating employee health screening using an application on a computing device, comprising:
- a memory;
- an electronic viewing portal associated with the computing device with a display for viewing by an employee;
- and
- a processor associated with the computing device and coupled to the memory programmed with executable instructions, wherein the processor and/or memory are configured to:
- receive identifying information from an employee via the electronic viewing portal;
- associate the employee with stored information based on the identifying information;
- determine one or more questions for a health screening questionnaire for the employee, wherein the determination comprises:
- identifying, based on stored information for the employee, a default office location for the employee,
- identifying an actual office location for the employee based on either the default office location or an alternate office location provided by the employee;
- requesting acknowledgement from the employee that the employee has approval from the employee's supervisor to visit the actual office location;
- selecting a ruleset corresponding to the actual office location, wherein the ruleset comprises geography-specific health screening rules, and
- determining the one or more health screening questions based upon the selected ruleset;
- display the one or more health screening questions on the display;
- receive answers from the employee to the health screening questions;
- determine a screening result based on the answers from the employee;
- display one or more indicators on the electronic viewing portal for viewing by the employee, based on the screening result;
- and
- communicate the screening result from the computing device to an employee badge in real-time, wherein the employee badge is configured to activate or deactivate based on the screening result, and wherein when the badge is activated, the employee has entry access to a work facility and when the badge is deactivated, the employee does not have entry access to the work facility.
