A user enters data about a resource into a computer using a method wherein the user selects a data field in which the data is to be entered. In response to that selection, the computer reviews previously stored records related to the resource to find instances of data contained in the data field. Those instances then are displayed to the user, who selects of one of the instances as a value to be entered into the data field. Thus the user is provided with a list of previous values that are contained in the selected data field for the resource, which list facilitates locating and entering information in new records for this resource.
摘要:
A monitoring system in a medical facility provides an identification device to a patient and a data acquisition device to a health-care worker. The identification device wirelessly emits a first signal that identifies the patient and the data acquisition device emits a second signal. A determination is made in response to the first signal and the second signal, whether the health-care worker is absent from being near the patient. For example, absence of the health-care worker is determined when a data reader receives only the first signal. This system detects when a patient requiring continuous observation is not in the presence of a health-care worker. In that case, an alarm message is sent to supervisory personnel.
