ABSTRACT:
A clock for facilitating the monitoring of a periodic, cyclical event, such as the orderly turning of bed bound patients. The clock comprises a face, indicia corresponding to the hours of a day, an hour hand and a minute hand operably attached to the face. The indicia corresponding to the hours of the day are coded in some manner, such as by coloring, to establish a plurality of time intervals. A legend is provided to associate the coded time interval to the occurrence of an event or of a particular status corresponding to each respective time interval. In one embodiment, the indicia for the hours of the day may be colored to indicate a given time interval. In an alternate embodiment, the face of the clock may be divided into sectors, each being representative of a time interval. In yet another embodiment, the indicia for the hours of the day may be positioned within an annular ring or band that is divided into segments, each being representative of a time interval.
