Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing proximity-based task lists to clinicians are provided. In embodiments, a task is identified as well as a clinician that is near a location associated with the task. In addition to identifying clinicians that are near the location associated with the task, clinicians authorized to complete the task and available to complete the task are identified. If all criteria are met, a clinician may be assigned to the task and notified of the task. Additionally, a task may be reassigned to a different clinician should any of the criteria fail to be satisfied at any point.
