Capturing and utilizing resource usage for a clinical pathway

A method, comprising:

• displaying, with an output device, a clinical pathway for a subject, wherein the clinical pathway is in an electronic document with updatable fields;
• receiving, with an input device, a first signal which selects a first task of the clinical pathway to complete, wherein the first task is not completed;
• receiving, with the input device, a second signal that which indicates the first task is completed, wherein the first task is completed;
• employing, with a processor, a probabilistic algorithm, which computes a first probability value for the first task;
• presenting, with the processor, a first challenge question only in response to the first probability value satisfying a first predetermined threshold;
• receiving, with the input device, a third signal that includes a first answer to the first challenge question;
• storing the first answer to the first challenge question in a memory;
• updating, with the processor, a first updatable in the electronic document to indicate the first task of the clinical pathway is completed in response to receiving the answer;
• analyzing the first answer along with previously received answers with an answer analysis algorithm to determine resource usage for each clinical pathway task;
• and
• employing a task scheduler to schedule tasks of clinical pathways based on the determine resource usage.

A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor of a computer, cause the processor to:

• display a clinical pathway for a subject, wherein the clinical pathway is in an electronic document with updatable fields;
• receive a first signal which selects a task of the clinical pathway to complete, wherein the task is not completed;
• receive a second signal that which indicates the task is completed, wherein the task is completed;
• employ a probabilistic algorithm, which computes a probability value for the task;
• present a challenge question only in response to the probability value satisfying a predetermined threshold;
• receive a third signal that includes an answer to the challenge question;
• store the answer to the challenge question in a memory;
• update an updatable in the electronic document to indicate the task of the clinical pathway is completed in response to receiving the answer;
• analyze the answer along with previously received answers with an answer analysis algorithm to determine resource usage for each clinical pathway task;
• and
• employ a task scheduler to schedule tasks of clinical pathways based on the determine resource usage.
