Abstract:

High-accuracy locating systems and methods are used for determining successful caregiver rounding, monitoring whether housekeepers have properly cleaned patient beds, or determining whether patients have ambulated sufficient distances during recovery. Patient beds having at least two locating tags are used for establishing patient care zones around the patient beds. Locating anchors and equipment tags are moved around a patient room to determine optimum locating anchor placement within the patient room based on signal quality values. A locating tag on a patient bed switches roles to operate as a locating anchor in response to the patient bed becoming stationary. A locating tag has a digital compass which is used to determine a field of good ranging relative to a front of a caregiver wearing the locating tag.

Abstract:

A system and method to determine availability of caregivers to respond to nurse calls or other alerts originating in patient rooms is provided. Caregivers are designated as unavailable depending upon room types in which they are located, or depending upon patient types in the rooms in which they are located, or depending upon how long they have been present in certain rooms, or depending upon whether the caregivers have designated themselves as unavailable, or any combination of the foregoing. A system and method to escalate alerts to other caregivers if a primary caregiver is unavailable includes escalating first to a designated secondary caregiver and then to a caregiver who is closest in proximity to the room from which the alert originated if the secondary caregiver is also unavailable.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

Abstract:

Technologies for location-based automated assignment of staff members of a healthcare facility include a plurality of proximity sensing devices communicatively coupled to a computer. The proximity sensing devices are each configured to detect a portable transceiver device carried by and associated with a particular staff member of the healthcare facility, as well as transmit location information to the computer. The computer is configured to receive the location information and determine whether to assign the staff member to a location of the staff member (i.e., the location of the proximity sensing device that detected the portable transceiver device). The computer is further configured to assign the staff member to the location of the staff member, as identified in the location information, based on a determination that the amount of time the staff member is detected in the location exceeds the duration threshold. Other embodiments are described herein.
