Abstract

Systems and methods for rewarding compliance are disclosed. In one embodiment, compliance data is received from a compliance monitoring system. The compliance data includes an indication of compliance success or compliance failure associated with an event having an associated compliance action. A compliance measurement is determined based on, at least in part, the compliance data. A compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement is determined based on, at least in part, an incentive. A reward is provided based on, at least in part, the compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement. Other systems and methods are disclosed.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, on a processor, compliance data from a compliance monitoring system, the compliance data including an indication of compliance success or compliance failure associated with an event having an associated compliance action;

determining, on the processor, a compliance measurement on, at least in part, the compliance data;

determining, on the processor, a compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement based on, at least in part, an incentive; and

providing, on the processor, a reward based on, at least in part, the compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the compliance action includes performance of hand hygiene.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the compliance action includes conducting patient rounds.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the compliance data includes contextual information associated with one or more of the event and the compliance action.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the compliance measurement is based on, at least in part, cumulative compliance successes.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the compliance measurement is based on, at least in part, a ratio of compliance success and compliance failure.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the compliance measurement is associated with an individual.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the compliance measurement is associated with a group.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the incentive includes one or more of a compliance success weighting factor and a compliance failure weighting factor.

10. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the incentive is based on, at least in part, a compliance threshold.

11. The computer implemented method of claim 10, wherein determining the compliance point is based on, at least in part, the compliance threshold.

12. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the incentive is based on, at least in part, a compliance rule defining the event and the associated compliance action.

13. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the incentive is based on, at least in part, a random selection of a sample of compliance data.

14. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the reward may include one or more of a compliance recognition and a redeemable value.

15. A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, on a processor, compliance data from a hand hygiene compliance monitoring system, the compliance data including an indication of compliance success or compliance failure associated with a hand hygiene opportunity;

determining, on the processor, a compliance measurement based on, at least in part, the compliance data;

determining, on the processor, a compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement based on, at least in part, an incentive; and

providing, on the processor, a reward based on, at least in part, the compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement.

16. The computer implemented method of claim 15, wherein the compliance data includes contextual information associated with hand hygiene opportunity.

17. The computer implemented method of claim 15, wherein the compliance measurement is associated with an individual.

18. The computer implemented method of claim 15, wherein the compliance measurement is associated with a group.

19. The computer implemented method of claim 15, wherein the incentive includes one or more of a compliance success weighting factor and a compliance failure weighting factor.

20. The computer implemented method of claim 15, wherein the incentive is based on, at least in part, a compliance threshold.

21. The computer implemented method of claim 15, wherein the incentive is based on, at least in part, a compliance rule defining the hand hygiene opportunity.

22. A system comprising

a compliance monitoring system including a first detection device and a second detection device configured to detect a compliance event and generate compliance data indicating compliance success or compliance failure of a compliance action associated with the compliance event;

at least one processor configured to;

receive the compliance data from the compliance monitoring system;

determine a compliance measurement based on, at least in part, the compliance data;

determine a compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement based on, at least in part, an incentive; and

provide a reward based on, at least in part, the compliance point value associated with the compliance measurement.

23. The system of claim 22, wherein the incentive is based on, at least in part, a compliance rule defining the compliance event and the associated compliance action.
