A tool, called the Skills Matching Application (SMA), allows a user, such as a hiring manager, to communicate requirements to technical service suppliers in a way that significantly reduces the process time and improves the accuracy of requests sent to suppliers. The SMA is accessed from a Web-based Requisition / Catalog (REQ / CAT) Web application. A user who needs to request a technical contractor accesses the REQ / CAT Web application which brings the user to the SMA Web site. The SMA application, after requiring a password and profile (for first time access) to be entered, takes the user through a series of screens which prompts the user to enter a Statement of Work (SOW) and complete a skills detail checklist for each of the technical skills requested. Once the request is completed, it is submitted to contracted suppliers who are sent an e-mail notification notifying the supplier that a new request has been entered into the SMA application for them to review and submit a candidate against. This e-mail has a standard formatted attachment which contains the statement of work and skills detail checklist. The suppliers, when they receive an e-mail request, access the Web site database to view the request details. A supplier provides a candidate or candidates by accessing the SMA Web site and submitting candidates and appending resumes as appropriate. The supplier provides a response to the SOW by responding to the entries with the candidate's skills, experience, etc. The requestor views the supplier responses and associated resumes and can either accept or reject each candidate submitted but cannot accept more than the number of candidates requested.

The present invention relates to method for assisting a user in generating an itemised medical report from at least one medical image. The at least one medical image is displayed in a display area of single computer display unit. In the same display area, a sub-region containing a checklist specific to the one or more images is displayed. Items from the checklist can be de-selected. This checklist comprises a list of selectable items, each item representing an organ, structure, or abnormality that has to be checked by the user. Linked to each item in the checklist is a default statement that is a pre-prepared statement indicative of the normality of the item. The default statement is not displayed by default as part of the checklist. The user can select an item from the checklist for providing comments by dictation thereon responsive to an observation in the radiological image. At the end of the image analysis, an editable itemised medical report is generated containing each item of the checklist as a heading and either the dictated comment or the default statement associated with the item as an observation. The editable itemised medical report is rapidly and accurately generated, information is confined to a single screen reducing the look-away time and general discomfort over time for the user.

In addition, this automated job placement system provides built-in deadlines for each step, with an easy-to-use proposal tracking and active proposal reminder mechanism. This system also enables the listing party to create minimum levels necessary for the party filling out the checklists to be deemed a qualified applicant and also enables the listing party to adjust these limits up or down to narrow or expand the number of qualified applicants.

Methods and systems are provided to develop and use complex automated tasks sequences. The tasks sequences are assembled graphically by assigning Actions to ActionDates. An Action is a component that performs a specific task such as preparing a document or making a database entry. An ActionDate includes the date on which an Action is to be performed. Actions and ActionDates may be grouped using an ActionList. Graphic representations of these ActionList can be added to ActionDates so that groups of tasks and the dates on which they are to be performed can be added to the task sequence for activities that are repeated at different points in the task list. The dates set in the ActionDate are computed and set dynamically from the ActionDate's relationship with other ActionDates in the task sequence. Once the task sequence is graphically assembled, instances of it are used to automatically perform the task sequence. Generally, the automated task sequence is displayed as an automated checklist with which as user can interact.

The event management system stores this information and provides at least a portion of it to a distributor that will be distributing (or broadcasting) the event to viewers. In addition, the event management system displays a pre-production checklist to guide the production team through the testing and production set-up process.

This invention relates to a novel two part, computer generated, bar coded, printed Rx, containing an illustrated patient checklist. More particularly, this invention relates to software and hardware that assist the prescriber to select a drug for the therapeutic treatment of a patient. The drug is then computer checked for patient suitability. A computer selected bar code-representing the drug name and strength is added to the Rx. A patient checklist-including an illustration of the drug is added to the Rx. The Rx is printed, and provided to the patient, or electronically sent to the pharmacy. The pharmacist places the bar coded Rx, together with the bar coded drug stock container on a bar code scanner that compares both bar codes-non-matching bar codes are immediately flagged. The patient illustrated checklist accompanies the dispensed drug and is used by the patient to determine that the drug received matches the original Rx.
