Abstract:
A dispatch management computer system that integrates with an existing nurse call system for clinical workflow optimization and to create accountability for patient satisfaction and outcomes. The system integrates a “quarterback” (e.g., dispatcher) tablet with a custom dispatch application that presents a floor plan for tracking the RTLS position of staff members and to provide a visual indication of which room and bed the call originated from. When a patient requests assistance, the QB application presents an assessment of the patient needs and, if further assistance is required, provides the dispatcher tools for real time assignment of the appropriate staff member and dispatch to begin the task within a predetermined amount of time required to complete the task allocated. The system enables the prompt assignment of staff personnel and assures that a patient receives prompt staff attention.

Claim (Index 17):
A dispatch management system for workflow optimization of the patient-nurse call process, said dispatch management system being integrated with an existing healthcare provider client-server network, the dispatch management system comprising:\n a plurality of low energy Bluetooth transmitters mounted in an array and configured to send fixed proximity information; a nurse call server comprising a computer having non-transitory computer memory connected to said healthcare provider client-server network, said nurse call server running application software comprising computer instructions stored on said non-transitory computer memory for maintaining a database of nurses; a portable quarterback (QB) computer in communication with said nurse call server, said portable QB computer running a QB computer application for displaying a QB Call Browser comprising a plurality of screens inclusive of an overview screen presenting a nurse call cancellation button, a task selection screen comprising a listing of tasks selectable for assignment to a designated nurse, and a listing of nurse calls; a plurality of mobile devices each assigned to a nurse, each mobile device being connected to said nurse call server and in proximity-based communication with select low BLE transmitters and configured for relaying location information from said BLE transmitters to said nurse call server, said nurse call server further comprising a computer running application software comprising a Nurse Browser for remotely displaying a subset of information displayed on said QB Call Browser; and a plurality of room door tablet computers each mounted outside a patient room and each in communication with said a nurse call server and said healthcare provider client-server network for determining and displaying room status and an occupant of said patient room.
