Abstract

Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and graphical user interfaces for automatically populating a dashboard with aggregate data are provided. In embodiments, a dashboard associated with a plurality of rooms in a hospital unit is displayed on a touchscreen monitor. Unit data associated with the plurality of rooms including unit description, current shift, charge nurse, clinician names, and clinician numbers is received. Patient data associated with a patient in each of the plurality of rooms is received. The patient data includes location, name, sex, age, and length of stay. The dashboard is automatically populated in real-time with the unit data and the patient data. One or more alerts associated with a patient in one of the plurality of rooms are received. One or more visual cues associated with one or more alerts are displayed on the dashboard.

Claims

1. Computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed, facilitates a method of automatically populating a dashboard, the method comprising:

displaying on a touchscreen monitor a dashboard associated with a plurality of rooms in a hospital unit;

receiving aggregate data associated with the plurality of rooms including unit description, current shift, charge nurse, clinician names, and clinician numbers;

receiving patient data associated with a patient in each of the plurality of rooms including location, name, sex, age, and length of stay; and

automatically populating in real-time the dashboard with the aggregate data and the patient data.

2. The media of claim 1, further comprising displaying a diagnosis associated with a patient in each of the plurality of rooms.

3. The media of claim 1, further comprising receiving a request for additional information for one of the plurality of rooms.

4. The media of claim 1, further comprising receiving an assignment to the hospital unit for a swing room.

5. The media of claim 1, further comprising providing a scalable view of the dashboard.

6. The media of claim 5, wherein the scalable view is automatically scaled in accordance with a number of the plurality of rooms associated with the hospital unit.

7. The media of claim 1, further comprising visually tracking, utilizing the dashboard, clinicians associated with the hospital unit.

8. The media of claim 1, further comprising masking confidential data.

9. The media of claim 8, further comprising enabling viewing of confidential data based on credentials associated with a user in proximity of the dashboard.

10. The media of claim 1, further comprising providing, utilizing a keypad on the touchscreen display, a comment section.

11. The media of claim 1, further comprising receiving one or more alerts associated with a patient in one of the plurality of rooms.

12. The media of claim 11, further comprising presenting one or more visual cues on the dashboard associated with the plurality of rooms.

13. The media of claim 11, wherein the one or more alerts are device alerts or special care indicators.

14. The media of claim 11, further comprising receiving special rules related to the display on the dashboard of alerts based on location and importance.

15. The media of claim 11, further comprising displaying a summary listing of alerts by type related to each patient in the hospital unit according to a selected timeframe.

17. The system of claim 14, further comprising a tracking component for visually tracking, utilizing the dashboard, clinicians associated with the hospital unit.

18. The system of claim 14, further comprising a proximity component for enabling viewing of confidential data based on credentials associated with a user in proximity of the dashboard.

20. The GUI of claim 17, an eleventh display area configured to display visual cues on the dashboard associated with the plurality of rooms.

16. A computer system that facilitates automatically populating a dashboard, the computer system comprising a processor coupled to a computer storage medium, the computer storage medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer software components executable by the processor, the computer software components comprising:

a display component for displaying, on a touchscreen monitor, a dashboard associated with a plurality of rooms in a hospital unit;

an aggregate data component for receiving aggregate data associated with the plurality of rooms;

a population component for automatically populating the dashboard, in real-time, with the aggregate data;

an alert component for receiving one or more alerts associated with a patient in one of the plurality of rooms;

a visual cue component for displaying, on the dashboard, one or more visual cues associated with the plurality of rooms.

19. Computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, produce a graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate utilizing an automatically populated dashboard, the GUI comprising:

a first display area configured to display a dashboard associated with a plurality of rooms in a hospital unit;

a second display area configured to display aggregate data associated with the plurality of rooms including unit description, current shift, charge nurse, patient data, clinician names, and clinician numbers;

a third display area configured to display a comment section;

a fourth display area configured to display a set of filters that can be used to filter the dashboard to display only those rooms in accordance with a selected filter;

a fifth display area configured to display a header associated with one of the plurality of rooms including a room location and the name, sex, age, and length of stay of a patient;

a sixth display area configured to display caregivers associated with one of the plurality of rooms;

a seventh display area configured to display allergies associated with the patient;

an eighth display area configured to display care priorities associated with the patient;

a ninth display area configured to display a diagnosis associated with the patient; and

a tenth display area configured to display an alert history associated with the patient.
