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 1):
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 including a computer network in communication with a medical records database and a nurse call system, the dispatch management system comprising:\n a plurality of RTLS tracking tags each identified by a unique identification code, each assigned to a nurse, and each periodically transmitting a message at least including said unique identification code and location information; an RTLS location server in communication with said healthcare provider client-server network, said RTLS location server comprising a computer having non-transitory computer memory connected to said healthcare provider client-server network, said RTLS location server running application software comprising computer instructions stored on said non-transitory computer memory for tracking a real time position of each of said RTLS tracking tags; a nurse call server in communication with said healthcare provider client-server network, said 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, and for querying said RTLS location server to determine a position of said nurses within a facility; a portable quarterback (QB) computer in communication with said nurse call server, said portable QB computer connected to said healthcare provider client-server network, 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 including patient room, name, reason for call, said QB Application further comprising a timer for tracking time to completion of each nurse call; a plurality of mobile devices each assigned to a nurse, each mobile device being connected to said nurse call server, and each mobile device 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.
