System and method for setting clinical care environment for each patient according to clinical guidelines

摘要

A system and method for configuring a clinical setting for a particular patient according to a clinical guideline prescribed for the particular patient are provided. The system ( 200 ) includes at least one contactless reader ( 404 ) for detecting a first tag associated with a patient ( 416 ) and generating a first identification signal indicative of the first tag; and a processor ( 302 ) for receiving the first identification signal, retrieving a patient record based on the first identification signal and generating a clinical care setting configuration for the patient based on the patient record. Additionally, the reader detects at least one second tag associated with at least one piece of medical equipment ( 408, 412 ) and the processor determines a current care setting configuration based on the detected at least one second tag, and then determines if the generated care setting configuration matches the current care setting configuration.
