Description

Background technique [0001] The present disclosure relates to assessing patient risk in a medical facility, and more particularly to assessing patient risk based on data obtained from medical devices. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to assessing various risks to patients in a medical facility and informing caregivers of the various risks to patients. [0002] Patients in healthcare facilities are vulnerable to several risks during hospitalization. For example, there is a risk of developing sepsis, of developing pressure injuries such as pressure sores or pressure sores, and of falling while or after getting out of bed. Risk assessments of patients are often performed sporadically, with long intervals between assessments. For example, vital signs may not be recorded in a patient's electronic medical record (EMR) until once or twice per shift, so there may be a gap of 4 to 8 hours or more between vital sign recordings. In addition, sometimes the results of r...
