Abstract
A task management system for informing a clinician of medication administration related tasks to be performed, includes a repository of information. The repository of information associates data identifying multiple different medications with corresponding multiple post-administration alert messages. An individual alert message notifies a clinician of a particular post-administration task to be performed concerning a particular medication following administration of the particular medication to a patient. An input processor receives data indicating the particular medication has been administered to the patient. A workflow processor, in response to received data indicating the particular medication has been administered to the patient, uses the repository for identifying a post-administration task associated with the particular medication and automatically adds data indicating the post-administration task to be performed to a task list of a clinician. A reproduction device presents the post-administration task and task list of the clinician for viewing by a user.
