• update and prioritize actions to be performed in respect of the given patient by the at least one health care personnel;
• and generate an action data for the given patient, wherein said action data is based at least in part on (a) the identity data, (b) the input data, and (c) at least one of the first rules, the second rules, and the third rules;
• and send said action data from the management system to the communication device;
• (v) receive said action data;
• and
• (vi) display information on a user-interface based at least on the received action data,
• wherein said action data requires at least one health care action to be performed by said at least one health care personnel in respect of the given patient being one of the multiple patients located in multiple patient care areas;
• wherein said at least one health care action is an action of care directly performed on the body of the given patient.

A management system for performing health care actions in respect of multiple patients undergoing health care treatment and located in multiple patient care areas using a communication device and said management system, said management system comprising:

• (a) a first database storing first rules for how patients with known sets of conditions are to be cared for;
• (b) a second database storing second rules for how input data regarding a given patient located in a patient care area are to be used;
• (c) a third database storing third rules relating to limitations and operating procedures for at least one health care personnel;
• (d) a management application;
• (e) at least one processor coupled to the first, second, and third databases;
• and
• (f) a memory coupled to the at least one processor for storing data;
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• (i) enable at least one health care personnel to verify patient identity of a patient against an image of the patient displayed on the communication device preparatory to the at least one health care personnel administering at least one health care action to the patient whose image is displayed on the communication device;
• (ii) receive by the communication device identity data input by the at least one health care personnel regarding verification of patient identity against the image of the patient via a user-interface of the communication device;
• (iii) receive by the communication device input data input by the at least one health care personnel of the patient via a user-interface of the communication device;
• (iii) cause the management application to:
• cross-reference the received identity data and input data with the first, second, and third databases;
• update and prioritize actions to be performed in respect of the given patient by the at least one health care personnel;
• and
• generate an action data for the given patient, wherein said action data is based at least in part on (a) the identity data, (b) the input data, and (c) at least one of the first rules,
• the second rules, and the third rules;
• (iv) send the action data for the given patient from the management system to the communication device for displaying on a user interface information based at least on the action data,
• wherein the action data requiring at least one health care action to be performed by said at least one health care personnel in respect of the given patient being one of the multiple patients located in multiple patient care areas;
• and
• wherein said at least one health care action is an action of care directly performed on the body of the given patient.

A non-transitory computer program product for performing health care actions in respect of multiple patients undergoing health care treatment and located in multiple patient care areas using a management system and a communication device comprising a communication device processor and a memory coupled to the communication device processor, said computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable medium comprising code for causing the communication device, with respect to multiple patients located in multiple patient care areas, to
• (i) enable at least one health care personnel to verify patient identity of a patient against an image of the patient displayed on the communication device preparatory to the at least one health care personnel administering at least one health care action to the patient whose image is displayed on the communication device;
• (ii) receive by the communication device identity data input by the at least one health care personnel regarding verification of patient identity against the image of the patient via a user-interface of the communication device;
• (iii) receive by the communication device input data input by the at least one health care personnel of the patient via a user-interface of the communication device;
• (iv) send the identity data and the input data to a management system, wherein said management system comprises a management application, a management system processor, a first database storing first rules for how patients with known sets of conditions are to be cared for, a second database storing second rules for how the input data are to be used, and a third database storing third rules relating to limitations and operating procedures for the at least one health care personnel, wherein said management system processor is configured to cause the management application to cross-reference the identity data and input data with the first rules, second rules and third rules;
• update and prioritize actions to be performed in respect of the given patient by the at least one health care personnel;
• and generate an action data for the given patient, wherein said action data is based at least in part on (a) the identity data, (b) the input data, and (c) at least one of the first rules, the second rules, and the third rules;
• and send said action data from the management system to the communication device;
• (v) receive action data for the given patient from the management system based at least in part on (a) the identity data, (b) the input data, and (c) at least one of the first rules, the second rules, and the third rules;
• and
• (vi) display information on the user-interface based at least on the received action data,
• wherein said action data requires at least one health care action to be performed by said at least one health care personnel in respect of the given patient being one of the multiple patients located in multiple patient care areas;
• and
• wherein said at least one health care action is an action of care directly performed on the body of the given patient.
