Patient Coordination System and Method
Title: Hospital Patient Monitoring and Tracking System Invention: The invention tracks and monitors patients in a hospital or other healthcare facilities to manage scheduling of tests and procedures based on health priority and cost. The system organizes an optimum schedule to reduce the duration of hospital stays for all patients and ensures that each patient promptly receives the appropriate, time-sensitive care. Background: Efforts to reduce costs in healthcare, avoid emergency room overcrowding, and preparation for a growing number of elderly patients in the years to come are a few of the drivers for the adoption of these systems. The demand to integrate data processing capabilities and EMR transfer options have also fueled the market. Applications: Designed to work in a hospital and track a large number of patientsLong-term care facilities Advantages: Monitors subjective and objective criteria for hospital discharge for each patient Focuses on high patient turnover to save costs to patients and hospitalOptimizes hospital procedure schedule based on availability and patient need. Reduces idle time and avoids “extra days” that result from scheduling issuesGenerates clear user interface for hospital staff to observe the big-picture status of the hospital and its patients.Provides clear list of steps-to-discharge for each patientThe larger the number of patients, the greater the potential benefit of the technology
