LOCATION-BASED MANAGEMENT OF HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS
First Claim
1. One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for managing healthcare environments, the method comprising:
- receiving a real-time status of a clinical device, wherein the status indicates at least whether the clinical device is appropriate for use;
identifying that the status of the clinical device indicates that the clinical device is not appropriate for use;
upon identifying that the clinical device is not appropriate for use, presenting an alert including both that the clinical device is not appropriate for use and a location of the clinical device within a blueprint of a healthcare environment, wherein the location of the clinical device is tracked by a clinical device identifier via a plurality of sensors in the healthcare environment;
identifying a location of at least one replacement clinical device; and
displaying the location of the replacement clinical device within the blueprint of the healthcare environment.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing healthcare environments are provided. In embodiments, a real-time status of a clinical device, along with a location, is received. The location of the clinical device is obtained via a clinical device identifier that is tracked by a plurality of sensors in a healthcare environment. A clinical device may be identified as inappropriate for use and an alert presented to a clinician including the problem of the clinical device and the location thereof. A replacement clinical device may be located, using clinical identifiers, and presented to the clinician. Such monitoring and location awareness facilitates efficient responses to healthcare situations.

15. One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for managing healthcare environments, the method comprising:
-
receiving patient clinical information from a patient'"'"'s electronic health record; receiving a real-time status of the patient, wherein the real-time status includes a location of the patient based on a patient identifier that is tracked via a plurality of sensors in a healthcare environment; based on the patient clinical information and the real-time status of the patient, determining that an alert is required; and displaying the alert in both an alert area of a user interface and a blueprint area of the user interface such that the alert is visible simultaneously with the location of the patient within the blueprint area. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
