ABSTRACT:
Care provider assignments to a patient may be automatically generated based on clinical evidence, documentation, workload, infectious status and other factors. The patient's chart may be accessed by a rules-based engine configured with rules to relate a patient's clinical status and needs to qualifications, certifications, capabilities and skills of care providers to select the care provider best qualified to assign to the patient. For instance, care providers having specialized training may be identified for assignment to patients presenting with specialized needs. Graphical displays of available providers may be displayed to and overridden by a manager. Because patient needs are automatically aligned with provider capabilities, availability and other factors, the errors, oversights and inefficiencies of manual or informal assignment systems are avoided and better health care delivery can be realized.
