Abstract
A system and method for customizing protocols associated with curtains in a hospital is disclosed. The method may include receiving a scan of a wall tag associated with a location; providing, by the processor, a list of installed curtains in the location; receiving, by the processor, a replacement reason for one or more of the installed curtains; and receiving, by the processor, a scan of a curtain tag for a new curtain.

- associating, by the one or more processors, each of the plurality of HAI replacement reasons respectively with a status of at least one of each of the plurality of the installed curtains or a room containing each of the plurality of installed curtains;
- associating, by the one or more processors, each of the plurality of HAI replacement reasons respectively with each of the plurality of the installed curtains;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, a notice that a patient having a HAI has vacated the type of room having the location information;
- initiating, by the one or more processors, the plurality of replacement protocols based on the HAI replacement reason for needing to replace the installed curtain for the patient in the type of room having the location information;
- replacing the subset of the plurality of installed curtains with replacement curtains in accordance with the respective plurality of replacement protocols;
- and
- receiving, by the one or more processors, curtain tag scan data from a plurality of scans of a plurality of curtain tags for the replacement curtains that replaced the subset of the plurality of installed curtains.
