Abstract

A system provides comprehensive patient and resource status information (manpower and equipment required to maintain optimal patient care) in an organization (e.g., a hospital) for use in adjusting resources to meet existing and future conditions. A system for monitoring activity in a healthcare enterprise includes an acquisition interface for acquiring acuity data representative of severity of medical condition of an individual patient, for multiple different patients. A monitoring processor monitors data identifying orders initiated for treatment to be provided to an individual patient and data identifying laboratory test results received for an individual patient, for multiple different patients. A data processor generates data representing status of healthcare activity for multiple patients in response to the data identifying orders and laboratory test results and the acuity data, for multiple different patients. An interface processor provides the data representing status of healthcare activity to a healthcare worker.
