Devices, systems, and methods for automated data collection

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods, devices, and computer systems thereof for automated data collection from a subject. In certain embodiments, one or more characteristics of a subject are sensed, and the subject is given a queue status indicator based on a comparison of the subject's one or more sensed characteristics with corresponding sensed characteristics from other subjects. In one embodiment, the subject is a healthcare worker and the system, methods, and devices are utilized to evaluate the overall health of the worker as part of the check-in process for work.

主权项

1. A system in a healthcare facility, comprising:
one or more input/output devices having a non-transitory signal bearing medium operable to receive at least one input regarding one or more characteristics of a subject in the healthcare facility, based on at least one sensor located in furniture or equipment configured to support the subject; compare the at least one input regarding the subject with a Characteristic Value dataset; generate a Characteristic Value from the at least one input regarding the subject based on the comparison with the Characteristic Value dataset; reinitiate receiving at least one input regarding one or more characteristics of the subject, comparing at least one input with a Characteristic Value dataset, and generating a Characteristic Value from the at least one input regarding the subject based on the comparison with the Characteristic Value dataset until an assessment threshold is satisfied; generate a Criticality Value for the subject based on a weighted determination of the subject's Characteristic Values; compare the Criticality Value of the subject with a Criticality Value dataset, the Criticality Value dataset including Criticality Values previously generated for the subject based on his or her own health history and including Criticality Values previously generated for other subjects in the hospital room in a queue; communicate an output indicative of the Criticality Value of the subject to a user; generate a Queue Status Indicator from a Queue Status Indicator dataset based on the comparing of the Criticality Value of the subject with the Criticality Value dataset derived from among subjects in the same location; communicate a locational indicator of the subject with the highest priority for medical treatment based on its assignment with a Queue Status Indicator that exceeds a threshold value, and directing at least one health care worker to provide medical treatment to the subject with the highest priority for medical treatment.
