PROVIDING CLINICAL INFORMATION TO CLINICIANS
First Claim
1. One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for providing clinical information to clinicians, the method comprising:
- identifying in a patient'"'"'s electronic health record that a first clinician treating the patient has requested a consult with a second clinician treating the patient;
receiving a location for the first clinician by way of a first clinician identifier, wherein the first clinician identifier is tracked via a plurality of sensors in a healthcare environment;
receiving a location for the second clinician by way of a second clinician identifier, wherein the second clinician identifier is tracked via the plurality of sensors in the healthcare environment;
determining whether the location for the first clinician and the location for the second clinician are near one another, wherein the determination is based on the proximity of the sensors that identified the location of both the first and the second clinician; and
upon determining that the location for the first clinician and the location for the second clinician are near one another, presenting a notification to the first clinician that includes the location of the second clinician.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing clinical information to clinicians are provided. In embodiments, a patient'"'"'s electronic health record is accessed to identify that a first clinician has requested a consult with a second clinician. Each clinician is associated with a clinician identifier that is identified by a plurality of sensors. A location for both the first and second clinician is received from the plurality of sensors. A determination is made whether the first and second clinicians are near one another. Upon determining that the first and second clinicians are near one another, a notification is presented to the first clinician. Such tracking of clinician location helps avoid missed opportunities and provides efficient communication among clinicians.
