Abstract:
1. A method of managing delivery of healthcare via a plurality of resources to a patient, the method comprising: tracking and outputting, using a processor, a signal representative of a location of at least one of the plurality of resources relative to a control volume defining a space associated with the patient and registered relative to a fixed reference prior to delivery of care to the patient, the resources associated with a selected healthcare delivery protocol defining a plurality of milestones, each milestone associated with a plurality of tasks involving one or more resources, the selected healthcare delivery protocol associated with the patient; acquiring, using the processor, at least one signal representative of detecting ingress or egress of at least one of the plurality of resources relative to the control volume during execution of the selected healthcare delivery protocol; comparing, using the processor, the at least one signal representative of detecting ingress or egress of at least one of the plurality of resources relative to the control volume to the plurality of tasks associated with the selected healthcare delivery protocol associated with the patient to determine completion of a milestone of the selected healthcare delivery protocol; and outputting, using the processor, a first signal representative of one of the plurality of milestones as defined in the selected protocol in response to detecting ingress or egress of at least one of the plurality of resources relative to the control volume while applying the selected protocol with respect to the patient and determining completion of the milestone; and tracking, using the processor, execution of the selected healthcare delivery protocol based on the completion of milestones associated with the selected healthcare delivery protocol and providing feedback regarding the execution of the selected healthcare delivery protocol.
