Abstract
A Workflow Management System is integrated with a Healthcare Information System to perform compliance contemporaneously with change in patient conditions. A medical treatment compliance monitoring system includes an input processor for receiving information identifying a patient and a medical condition of the patient. A workflow task processor provides a healthcare worker with information indicating treatment activity to be performed for the patient. The treatment activity conforms with recommended guidelines for treating the medical condition. The workflow task processor also prompts the healthcare worker to complete documentation, indicating an action taken by the healthcare worker in treating the patient, and documenting compliance with the recommended guidelines. The healthcare worker is prompted to complete the documentation at a time substantially close to the time of the action being taken by the healthcare worker.
