System and method for reorienting and decreasing patient anxiety in a medical facility
First Claim
1. A computer system for reorienting, reducing anxiety and/or reducing risk factors for delirium in a patient in a medical facility comprising a computer having a central processing unit (CPU) for executing machine instructions comprising a passive module and a memory for storing machine instructions that are to be executed by the CPU, the machine instructions when executed by the CPU implementing the following functions:
- receiving patient-specific content and non-patient-specific content;
formatting the patient-specific content and non-patient-specific content into a series of content pages to form a looped content segment, the series of content pages including first, second and third reorientation messages based on the patient-specific content and non-patient-specific content, one of the first, second or third reorientation messages includes an identification of the patient, another of the first, second or third reorientation messages includes the facility name, and the remaining of the first, second or third reorientation messages includes the current time or date; and
continuously looping the looped content segment for sequential display of the first, second and third patient reorientation messages to the patient.

Abstract
A computer system for reorienting, reducing anxiety, and/or reducing delirium risk of a patient in a hospital is provided. The computer has a central processing unit (CPU) for executing machine instructions for a passive and active module and a memory for storing the machine instructions. The machine instructions implement functions when executed by the CPU. Patient-specific content is inputted into the CPU. The system then communicates the patient-specific content from the CPU to the patient by displaying and looping the patient-specific content such that any point of the loop of the patient-specific content helps reorient and reduce anxiety and delirium risk.
