Patent ID: 8515777

Claim:
A healthcare provisioning system, comprising: a computer; a healthcare demand model that predicts a healthcare demand based on a series of tasks that need to be performed in response to a patient diagnosis; a healthcare supply model that predicts a healthcare supply resource required to perform a task predicted by the healthcare demand model; a healthcare provisioning engine executing on the computer configured to analyze the predicted healthcare demand and the predicted healthcare supply resource to predict when the healthcare supply resource will reach a tipping point, and to determine allocation of healthcare supply resources to meet healthcare demand to avoid reaching the tipping point of the healthcare supply resource; and a camera to perform real-time surveillance of a healthcare provider that is used by healthcare provisioning engine to determine is a tipping point is being reached or exceeded, wherein the healthcare supply model includes a cognitive capacity of an available healthcare supply, and wherein the healthcare provisioning engine determines one or more resources in the available healthcare supply that have sufficient cognitive capacity to respond to the predicted tasks so as to not reach a tipping point or to cause another healthcare supply resource to reach a tipping point.
