Abstract
Systems for providing and tracking information, including location and credentials, of a person and providing this information to a user on a display. The system provides multiple views on the display including a room view to indicate who is in a specified room or other location, a team view to indicate a person's position in an overall service team, and a timeline view to indicate the times and durations of service events involving one or more persons.
Claims23
A system comprising:
- a first code detector capable of detecting a first code and a second code in a physical space in a healthcare setting, the first code detector being communicatively coupled to a communication network and capable of transmitting code detections over the network;
- a data manager capable of monitoring and analyzing the code detections sent by the code detector over the communication network;
- an informational database capable of storing code detection information from and providing code detection information to the data manager;
- and
- a display device located in a physical space, also including a patient, the display device receiving code detection information from the data manager, the display device comprising a timeline view that graphically displays a time differential that occurs between a first time at which the first code is detected in the physical space and a second time at which the first code is detected in the physical space.
A method comprising the steps of:
- Automatically detecting a first entry of a first code in a physical space in a healthcare setting, the physical space also including a patient;
- transmitting a first set of parameters to an automated database manager;
- after detecting the first entry of the first code, detecting a first entry of a second code in the physical space;
- transmitting a second set of parameters to the automated database manager;
- after detecting the first entry of the second code, detecting a second entry of the second code in the physical space;
- and
- transmitting a third set of parameters to the automated database manager,
- wherein each set of parameters include at least two of the following:
- information related to a building housing the physical space, information related to the physical space, code information, and a timestamp, and
- wherein the sets of parameters affect an informational display in the physical space.
A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving from a code detector a first set of parameters relating to a first code associated with a patient located in a physical space;
- after receiving the first set of parameters, receiving from the code detector a second set of parameters relating to a second code associated with a healthcare provider;
- after receiving the second set of parameters, receiving from the code detector a third set of parameters relating to the second code;
- and
- after receiving the third set of parameters, responding to a request from a display device located in the physical space, such responding comprising transmitting to the display device information logically associated with the second code in an informational database and a time differential determined by a difference in time between a respective timestamp received in each of the second and third sets of parameters.
