摘要:
A status tracker tracks the state of a patient during a diagnostic test sequence to eliminate redundant steps between diagnostic procedures. The status tracker maintains a list of preconditions required for each diagnostic procedure, reads a current patient status from a memory register and verifies the current setting of the patient status corresponding to a specific precondition. If the precondition is required and the current setting is not valid, the state tracker further formats a test preparation step corresponding to the precondition for display to instruct a patient technician to satisfy the precondition. Otherwise, if the precondition is not required and the corresponding setting is valid, the status tracker formats an instruction to reverse the corresponding patient status or condition. The status tracker additionally receives feedback indicating when a precondition has been satisfied or the corresponding patient status has been reversed, and updates the patient status in memory.
