Abstract
A method and system for predicting the next location for a patient in a healthcare facility, including: defining a location-procedure co-occurrence matrix for the healthcare facility, wherein the location-procedure co-occurrence matrix define the probability that a procedure will be performed in a specific location; defining a procedure transition matrix, wherein the procedure transition matrix defines the probability of moving from a first procedure to a second procedure; defining a patient input vector based upon the patient condition and procedures performed on the patient; calculating an output vector based upon the patient input vector and the procedure transition matrix; producing a procedure vector by setting all values in the output vector to zero except for the N highest values in the output vector, where N is an integer; calculating a location prediction vector based upon the procedure vector and the location-procedure co-occurrence matrix; and transmitting information regarding the M most likely next locations for the patient to a display device.
