1324322 IX. Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a configuration and method. The system of people in the temporary medical position [previous technology] The market that meets the short-term or temporary medical position. Since there is a need to have a management fee in order to perform such activities, there are very few medical providers. Second, respond and incur high school. Usually due to the presence of temporary medical positions in the market, many short-term g& people who have no limit on the number of people in their position...* are not filled to fill or by less than what is required: There are a number of agents who meet the needs of the incumbent, who can call these incumbents to quickly meet short-term tasks. This results in: The second is that each person is usually only employed by an agent during business hours, which usually limits the ability of the customer and the candidate (for example, the incumbent) to interact with each other. Hospitals and other medical service providers who use medical staff are not trying to fill in the hair to personally fill these temporary medical treatments. A limiting factor is the cost of a candidate who can be used to convene each candidate and determine their eligibility and interest in that location. Due to this cost factor, very few configurators are interested in or willing to perform the short-term temporary medical position. Configuring personnel in a temporary medical location may include arranging personnel in a location for hours or days, but usually no more than thirteen days. After several years in the field of long-term medical staff, a wide range of health care professionals from across the country have been created to meet the needs of long-term staff. I04133.doc 1324322 Early use of these long-term g? Departments g yb u These medical positions The hospital or medical institution is in contact with the location staff to meet the needs of the short-term staff. In many cases, potential candidates from the long-term configuration staff list need to travel, which is a significant expense in travel expenses (including transportation, boarding, food's and other basic travel expenses that hospitals or medical institutions need to compensate). This is a basic issue in the short-term medical position staffing industry. The medical staffing industry has attempted to mitigate one of these problems by having established network-based work boards that seek to locate local medical professionals to meet the needs of these short-term medical location staff. However, this solution does not significantly improve the needs of short-term medical location staff. The Hai Medical Specialized Personnel Agency still performs all communications between the medical professional who inspects the work board for the temporary medical position and the medical service provider that provides the location.

The temporary medical location configuration personnel process begins in step 302, where a one is received

The payment rate provided by the temporary I04133.doc 13 with specific qualifications. The experience, years of experience, specific identification, specific skills, physical characteristics, and the knowledge to be understood. In the middle, the general practitioner;: Γ The geographical place can be identified by the name of the building (for example, or by the instruction of the company and the other part of the temporary medical position (the residence of the patient). The payment rate can be based on the payment rate in US dollars of the mother hour, after a certain period, - one-time payment, or A 〃, B fixed or sub-working for a certain amount of time or paying for medical professionals. The method, for example, the payment; can be: a certain amount of dollars per hour or a certain amount of dollars per job (eg, for a patient performing a scan using a magnetic resonance imaging (bribe) system.), the rate can include Other types of differential payment (including standby payment level difference, late class payment level difference, night shift payment level difference, and weekend class payment level difference) or separate from it. It can be used to determine the payment rate. The method is generally received from a provider of care (eg, a hospital or emergency care facility)' but other third parties or agents may submit a request from the provider of the medical service. In step 304, one or more may be performed to find one or more A database of medical professionals having at least a portion of a particular qualification and a potential candidate located within a predetermined distance of the geographic location to fill the temporary medical location. The search may not be able to find a database of medical professionals ( For example, & 'Database 250 of Figure 2') a medical professional that exactly matches the request from the medical service provider, so one or more potential candidates with matching one or more specific qualifications may be Determine and rate the rating 104l33.doc 1324322. The rating may set a value indicating the extent to which the potential candidates match the desired qualification. For example, the rating may set a value between 〇 and 1〇〇. This rating can set the value between 〇_1〇. Still, symbols such as asterisks or bar graphs can be used to represent the proximity of the match. Medical professionals can categorize based on ratings to provide an easy way for these providers to examine the best matching potential candidates.

«Haichoge can be limited to a predetermined distance based on the geographic location received for the temporary medical location. In determining this distance, the principles of the present invention may utilize longitude and latitude algorithms for a particular street address or zip code. Thereafter, the search algorithm may determine the location of the potential candidate based on the street address or zip code (for example) and perform a geographic location between the temporary medical location and a medical professional in the database that can be used to perform the location Distance calculation. At step 306, one or more potential candidates may be determined by the search. The determining may include tagging or storing a geography with at least a portion of the specified eligibility found during the search and located at the temporary medical location to be populated

An identifier associated with a potential candidate within a predetermined distance of the venue. In one embodiment, the distance may be increased or decreased during the search to increase or decrease the number of medical professionals found in the search. An electronic communication with the (or other) determined candidate can be initiated by using the communication identifier stored in the database. The communication identifier can be an email address, a telephone address, a text message address, an instant message address, or other electronic address capable of receiving electronic communications. The electronic communication can be by voice generated by a voice robot, by an email or text message generated by an email generator operating on an electronic message server 252 (Fig. 2), or by other electronic communications. It should be noted that the fulfillment or configuration personnel process of Figure 3 can be performed in the absence of a temporary medical location configuration personnel agent 1 (6) (Figure 1} personnel interaction. This enables the medical service provider 1〇2 and medical professionals Inter-communication can be independent of third parties and can have more than a third party (for example, a temporary medical location staff) to find a qualified medical professional and a medical professional and medical provider The situation of the 1〇2 deliberation is generally higher.

Procedures for assigning a person to a temporary medical position to submit a temporary medical position to a temporary medical position fulfillment system, to potential candidates for communication to a temporary medical position, and to medical professionals and medical care determined by the temporary medical position fulfillment system Negotiation between service providers. In performing the steps of this and the process illustrated in Figure 3, many of the inputs and responses can be performed by a medical service provider looking for a temporary medical location and a medical professional who wants their temporary medical location.

Figure 4 is an operational diagram of an exemplary overall process for performing a temporary medical position in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The process begins at the beginning of the procedure, #中—the medical service provider or a temporary medical location staff agent at the customer's office can be set up — a new talent v to hire a medical professional to fill a temporary medical location. At step 404', based on a search for a medical professional that can be used to perform the medical location tested by the provider of the medical service, the notification can send an I:-candidate. In step 4〇6 ‘About the provision of a kiss to the medical service or the temporary medical position of the person to be configured has been received 迨—a — ▲ h曰 疋 疋 疋. If the response has not been received at step 406, the therapy provider can establish another command at step 402. J04J33.doc If the medical professional responding to the notification sent by the temporary medical location has received any response, the medical service provider may check the candidates at step 4〇8 to determine if any candidate is hired. It is acceptable. At step 410, the medical service provider may make a decision to accept or reject the candidate who has responded to the notification. If the medical service provider accepts a candidate, then at step 412 an acknowledgment can be sent until the candidate notifies the candidate to accept. The confirmation may request a final acceptance from the candidate to complete the transaction at step 414. If the candidate is not accepted at step 410, then at step 416, the candidate may make a counter-offer to the medical service provider. If it is decided that there is no counter-offer from the candidate to the medical service provider at step 416, then the medical service supply is only built-in new instructions in the step-by-step procedure. If the candidate decides to make a return to the medical service provider at step 416, a new counter-offer can be designated as step 418. In the step, the counter-offer can be sent to the medical service provider along with a receipt to be sent to the candidate. The counter-offer can be more or less than the money provided by the provider of the medical service. If the payout rate provided by the candidate ^ feels is too low, he or she may provide more money, or the candidate wants to try and ensure that he or she is selected for the location, he or she may Ask for less money. At step 406, the process continues, and the eighth can notify the medical service provider of an undecided counter-offer or a candidate to be examined. VIII Continue with Figure 4, the steps of process 4 are in the stage of the dashed box. These phases can be presented to the graphical user = so that the user can quickly determine the stage and status of the offer and negotiation process when using the temporary medical location configuration staff system l04133.doc 1324322. As shown, there are seven stages. The number of stages can be expanded or reduced to provide information to users of the system in different ways. Stage 422 is a new instruction phase in which a medical service provider can create a new instruction. Stage 424 displays any notifications including instructions, queued calls, made calls, sent emails, and sent text messages. The information may include a value (for example, a call that has been made)

Called as '6) or other means of notifying the notification of a potential candidate to be sent or sent to a potential candidate at the temporary medical location of the person to be configured. Stage 426 is an undetermined inspection phase in which the medical service provider can check for undecided instructions and candidates. All of the sections 428 are undecided: the confirmation of the order 1 in the approval phase and the confirmation of the transmission may be The medical service provider checks. Phase 43 - Waiting for the mail confirmation phase, which displays any instructions that wait for the most acceptable line. To make it easy for the user, the material command can be displayed.

Table II. Temporary Medical Location Request Form ‘Representing the rate of payment to be provided by the health care provider for input: In the optional entry rate entry form for the candidate to perform the temporary medical position. The round-up form may include a normal rate (for example, the beauty per hour: number), a standby rate, a rate per scan, a late-rate rate, a rate, and a weekend rate. In addition, the form can be submitted to the place where the medical service provider of the temporary medical location to be filled is located in the Shisheng District, such as the typical payment rate. It should be understood that depending on how the medical service is paid for the temporary medical location to be filled, the input form provides a rate of payment that is not an hourly dollar. Local Regional Debate 2 • The payment rate can be used as the average of the payment rates in the local area. (for example, the type of competition of the medical service provider), or other local and regional locations of the location. Or national payment decision 0, 104133.doc -2J - 1324322 One example of setting a payment rate includes utilizing a historical rate of payment by a medical professional. The temporary medical location configurator system can store a historically negotiated rate of payment (eg, system operator) in a database that is relevant (eg, associated with a zip code) and = set These historical rates are determined by, for example, minimum, maximum, and value. The rate can then be used to present, recommend, or set up as a message to a healthcare professional. Although the system can receive #history payment, but the department

The system can also provide disregarding features to enable healthcare providers to ignore historical rates. For example, if the provider of the medical service absolutely needs a specific location to be populated, then the rate can be entered - above the historical rate. Alternatively, if there is a crisis and the medical service provider is unable to provide a payment history payment rate, the payment rate may be set by the medical service provider at a lower rate than the historically setter. A map or other graphical representation may be provided by the system to graphically display historical rates of payment in certain locations or geographies. The same or similar techniques can be used to rate differential rates for different shifts, standbys, and the like. The historical information may be based on the density of the location at which the medical service provider attempts to fill a location, so the search distance to be set may be a variable to enable the medical service provider to instantly adjust the search distance to find the distance from the facility. The temporary medical location at this distance is suitable for their expectations. For example, if the institution is located in a rural area, the distance may need to be expanded to find a medical professional who is willing to work for less money. Alternatively, if the facility is located in a densely populated area, the distance parameter can be reduced to find a medical professional M who is willing to work for less money. In an embodiment, the temporary medical staff can use a look-up table or other database to determine the population density for setting or adjusting the search distance. For example, the system can be set up to search for a population of 100,000 people, which can result in 25 qualified medical professionals with matching for temporary medical locations that are instructed by the medical service provider. A medical service provider located in a high-population city may search for a circumference or other geometric shape of a radius of one mile around the location of the temporary medical location. In the suburbs, the radius may be 2 W miles to search for a population of 100,000 people. You can set the maximum range over which the search distance can be extended. Billing Type Rate Typical Rate Normal $54.00 Typical range for your region is $45.00 to $65.00 Standby $ 4.00 Typical range for your region is $2.00 to $8.00. A typical range of $62.00 per visit for your region is $55.00 to $75.00. Late class difference $ 4.00 The typical range for your region is $3.00 to $5.00. Night shift difference $ 4.00 Typical range for your region is $3.00 to $5.00. Weekend class difference $ 4.00 Typical range for your region is $3.00 to $5.00 Table III. Command Rate Entry Form Figure 5 shows a command to submit a command to the temporary medical location staff system to configure personnel in a temporary medical location. Page 5 00 of the illustrative instruction form. Based on the preferences or remote choices of the healthcare provider, a certain number of medical professionals can communicate with the location. For example, a healthcare provider may choose to communicate with five medical professionals and communicate voice and/or text messages to such medical professionals. As shown, the command message 502 can include information entered by the medical service provider regarding the temporary medical location and a payment rate 504 to be paid to the medical professional working for the temporary medical location. The confirmed soft button or other selectable element may be a 104133.doc -23· 1324322 person (eg, a configuration staff administrator) providing the medical service provider with confirmation that the information in the instruction is positive and the medical service provider Peer is subject to the terms and conditions of the temporary medical location staff system. Figure (10) (4) The principle of the (4) principle (4) one of the responsibilities (four) system The operational diagram of the exemplary action process 600. The process begins with a step in which a medical service provider is ready for voice access. At step (10), a request to the medical professional is received. A list of medical professionals who are continuation or can be ordered to meet the medical professional's request at step 604. The list can be staggered in a temporary memory (e.g., memory (circle 2)), or (d) device (e.g., storage device 226 in a database or other storage repository). This determination can be generated by a search. In one embodiment, the search utilizes the distance between the location of the temporary medical location and a medical professional having the skill of meeting the criteria established by the provider of the medical service. As should be appreciated in the art, a database containing medical professionals capable of filling a temporary medical location can be indexed prior to performing a search. The database can be stored with the medical service provider and (4) professionals. ^Linked mail code. The database stores the longitude associated with each zip code and calls the location configurator to perform or configure the personnel system. The following functions can be used to determine the distance between the zip code (for example, the temporary medical care: location) and the other zip code (for example, the medical professional's residence). It should be understood that other functions and equations can be utilized to calculate the distance between two points.
