Abstract
A computer system for registering and tracking a patient in a designated treatment area of a medical facility comprises input means for receiving data items including personal, treatment, and logistical information about the patient. Memory means are operably connected to the input means for storing the data items, and a processor is operably connected to the input means and the memory means for creating a record of the data items. the processor also configures the data items into a data structure that permits interactive tracking of the patient while admitted to the treatment area. A user interface is operably connected to the processor and displays the data items from the data structure. The user interface also allows a user to control the processor for and manipulate the data structure, thereby providing real-time logistical tracking of the patient.
