20090083827 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CIRCUMVENTING INSTANT MESSAGING DO-NOT-DISTURB - A system and method for circumventing a do-not-disturb status of an instant messaging user including defining a policy of circumvention rights for circumventing do-not-disturb status in instant messaging. A do-not-disturb status of an instant messaging user is identified, and the do-not-disturb status of the instant messaging user is circumvented based upon the policy of circumvention rights. | 03-26-2009 |
20100169431 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CIRCUMVENTING INSTANT MESSAGING DO-NOT-DISTURB - A system and method for circumventing a do-not-disturb status of an instant messaging user including defining requesting, from one or more do not disturb circumvention mediators, do-not-disturb status circumvention of an instant messaging user. Circumvention permission for the do-not-disturb status of the instant messaging user is received. The do-not-disturb status of the instant messaging user is circumvented based upon, at least in part, the circumvention permission. | 07-01-2010 |
20100169438 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CIRCUMVENTING INSTANT MESSAGING DO-NOT-DISTURB - A system and method for circumventing a do-not-disturb status of an instant messaging user including defining a trusted user. A do-not-disturb status of an instant messaging user is identified. The trusted user is allowed to circumvent the do-not-disturb status of the instant messaging user. | 07-01-2010 |
20110022662 | EVENT TRIGGERED NOTIFICATIONS FOR COLLABORATIVE PROCESSES - Notifications that serve as “hints” related to activity associated with a collaborative process are propagated to an originator to alert the originator of activity on the collaborative process. A collaborative process server computer receives an indication that the originator has initiated a computer implemented collaborative process that generates collaborative content to be tracked. The collaborative process server computer is utilized to share the collaborative content associated with the collaborative process with at least one recipient. Computer implemented event(s) associated with the shared collaborative content by recipients are detected. Information associated with the collaborative process is automatically transformed in response to detected event(s) associated with the shared collaborative content, wherein a notification of the occurrence of the event(s) is propagated to the originator. The notification is generated in response to detected event(s) and is based upon the transformed information. | 01-27-2011 |
20120116793 | Administering A Patient In A Hospital - Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for administering a patient in a hospital. Embodiments include identifying, by a room optimizer module, upon the patient checking into the hospital, a set of patient attributes, each patient attribute describing an aspect of the health of the patient; selecting, by the room optimizer module, an optimized room for the patient in dependence upon the patient attributes and a set of room attributes of a plurality of rooms available, and indicating, by the room optimizer module, the selection of the optimized room to a hospital administrator. | 05-10-2012 |

20130024205 | DYNAMICALLY UPDATING ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS AND LEVERAGING A PERSON'S PATH IN A FACILITY TO MITGATE RISKS - Automatically updating an electronic medical record in response to an exposure to a communicable disease is disclosed. A system receives data indicating a common reference point of exchange for a first person and for a second person. The system further detects an update to an electronic medical record of the first person where the update includes a diagnosis of a communicable disease. The data indicating the common reference point and the communicable disease is used to determine an exposure of the second person to the communicable disease. Upon determining such exposure, an electronic medical record for the second person is updated to reflect the exposure to the disease. | 01-24-2013 |
20140164947 | COLLABORATIVE ARBITRATION OF POLLING RESULTS IN A COLLABORATIVE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to arbitrating polling results and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for collaborative arbitration of polling results in a collaborative environment. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for collaborative arbitration of polling results in a collaborative environment can be provided. The method can include placing a poll within a message and sending the message to a select group of collaborators in the collaborative environment. The method further can include receiving poll results from a collaborator in the select group in a reply to the message, extracting the poll results from the reply and placing the poll within a new message along with the extracted poll results. Thereafter, the new message can be sent to the select group. | 06-12-2014 |
