Abstract:
1. A method comprising executing computer implemented instructions performed by one or more processors for providing information associated with care of a patient in a health care environment, comprising: receiving, via at least one processor, location information associated with a plurality of patients; receiving, via at least one processor, patient care information from at least one of the following information systems: an ordering system, a result reporting system, a lab-type system, a pharmacy-type system, a radiology-type system, a transcription-type system, an environmental services-type system, or a transportation-type system; receiving, via at least one processor, information associated with at least one indicator of health care of at least one of the plurality of patients; providing a graphical user interface associated with a display mounted in the health care environment to display the location information associated with the plurality of patients, the patient care information, and the at least one indicator of health care of at least one of the plurality of patients in a geospatial map; displaying in a geospatial map via the graphical user interface the location information associated with the plurality of patients, the patient care information, and the at least one indicator of health care of the at least one of the plurality of patients; updating, via at least one processor, the graphical user interface when: (i) a change occurs in the location information associated with the plurality of patients, (ii) a change occurs in the patient care information, and (iii) when a change occurs in the at least one indicator of health care of the at least one of the plurality of patients; receiving a user query that comprises a request to display on the geospatial map via the graphical user interface the location information associated with a subset of the plurality of patients receiving care from a physician in the health care environment based on a particular user role, wherein the particular user role comprises at least one of: (i) a physician, (ii) a nurse or (iii) a healthcare assistant; receiving, based at least in part on the user query, a query response that comprises the requested location information for each of the one or more patients in the subset; and displaying, in response to the user query, the location information associated with each of the one or more patients in the subset on the geospatial map via the graphical user interface, wherein the location information comprises one or more indicators displayed adjacent to one or more patient rooms associated with each of the one or more patients in the subset.
