System and Method for Managing Cognitive Bandwidth to Prevent Failure of Valuable Tasks Requiring Cognition

摘要

Cognitive bandwidth of a healthcare delivery team is managed by managing cognitive bandwidth of the healthcare providers and the overall support team for those providers on the healthcare delivery team. A performance improvement coordinator allocates health care delivery tasks and educational tasks to ensure that no healthcare provider or team member on the healthcare provider team reaches a tipping point to increase the likelihood that tasks at risks are performed adequately. Patient care tasks performed by the patient can also be considered by the performance improvement coordinator to avoid the patient reaching a tipping point that will adversely affect the patient's ability to learn and perform required patient care tasks effectively and efficiently.
