System and method for providing a real-time status for managing encounters in health care settings

摘要

A real-time status system for managing encounters in a health care facility is disclosed. The real-time status system includes a graphical user interface in communication with a health care scheduling system for accessing encounters, scheduling information for the encounters, and tracking information for the encounters. The real-time status of the encounters, generated and updated based on the scheduling information for the encounters and the tracking information for the encounters, is displayed on the graphical user interface. A scheduled status of the encounters based on the scheduling information for the encounters can also be displayed on the graphical user interface, and users can selectively view the real-time status and the scheduled status independently or simultaneously.
