SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING PATIENT ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A system for environmental control of patient care environments comprising:
- at least one processor operatively connected to a memory, the at least one processor when executing is configured to;
determine information associated with patient location for a plurality of patient rooms;
establish at least one change to an environmental control parameter responsive to determining the information associated with patient location; and
communicate an environment control message to a environment management subsystem configured to implement at least one change to the environment control parameter.

Abstract
Environment control systems and methods are provided that can be integrated with patient administration systems (e.g., admission, discharge, & transfer systems or “ADT” systems) to implement energy saving algorithms based on the presence or absence of a patient from a given room. In some embodiments, tracking of patients by bed can enable further optimization of environmental control. In further embodiments, additional patient administration systems can be integrated to provide more specific control, and can enable configurations to manage an environment based on scheduled testing, operations, imaging, or any procedure which takes a patient out of their room.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instruction for environmental control in a patient care environment including instructions that cause at least one processor of a computer system to:
-
determine information associated with patient location for a plurality of patient rooms; establish at least one change to an environmental control parameter responsive to determining the information associated with patient location; and communicate an environment control message to a environment management subsystem configured to implement at least one change to the environment control parameter.
