Abstract
Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for tacking and monitoring a patient and provider in a medical clinic. In one embodiment, a system for tracking and monitoring a patient and provider in a medical clinic comprises at least two RF tags, RF readers, and a data acquisition system. The RF tags are attached to a patient and a provider and transmit tag data to the RF readers. The RF readers receive the tag data and associate the tag data to a room, time, date, RF reader ID, etc. The RF readers transmit the tag data and associated data to the data acquisition system via a communication platform. The data acquisition system determines the length of time that the provider took to examine the patient based on the received data from the RF reader.
Claims36
A system for tracking and monitoring a patient and provider in a medical clinic, the system comprising:
- at least two RF tags that are attached to a patient and a provider, and are capable of transmitting tag data;
- and
- an RF reader that receives the tag data from the RF tags and transmits the tag data;
- and
- a data acquisition system that receives the data from the RF reader via a communication platform and determines the length of time that the provider took to examine the patient based on the received data from the RF reader.
A system for tracking and monitoring a patient and provider in a medical clinic, the system comprising:
- at least two RF tags that are attached to a patient and a provider, and are capable of transmitting tag data;
- and
- an RF reader that receives the tag data from the RF tags and transmits the tag data;
- and
- a clinical computer that receives the data from the RF reader and determines the length of time that the provider took to examine the patient based on the received data from the RF reader.
A data acquisition system that facilitates tracking and monitoring a patient and provider in a medical clinic, the data acquisition system comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a memory having an operating system and a data acquisition manager, the processing device interacting with the memory to facilitate the operating system in controlling the execution of at least the data acquisition manager,
- wherein the data acquisition manager stored in a computer-readable medium, the manager comprising:
- logic configured to receive data from an RF reader and;
- logic configured to determine the length of time that the provider took to examine the patient based on the received data.
A clinical computer that facilitates tracking and monitoring a patient and provider in a medical clinic, the clinical computer comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a memory having an operating system and a clinical computer manager, the processing device interacting with the memory to facilitate the operating system in controlling the execution of at least the clinical computer manager,
- wherein the clinical computer manager stored in a computer-readable medium, the manager comprising:
- logic configured to receive data from an RF reader;
- and logic configured to determine the length of time that the provider took to examine the patient based on the received data based on the received data from the RF reader.
A method for tracking and monitoring a patient and provider in a medical clinic, the method comprising:
- transmitting tag data from the RF tag;
- receiving the tag data via an RF reader located in a room of a medical clinic;
- associating the tag data to one of a provider and patient;
- and
- determining the length of time that the provider took to examine the patient based on the received data and associated data;
