rendering at least a portion of the gathered information based, at least in part, upon the selected viewing lens.
10 . The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the plurality of available viewing lenses includes one or more of:
a macro level viewing lens;
a facility level viewing lens;
a unit level viewing lens;
a cohort level viewing lens; and
an individual level viewing lens.
11 . The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the gathered information concerns, at least in part, the wellbeing of one or more medical staff of the one or more medical institutions.
12 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the wellbeing of one or more medical staff concerns one or more of:
the attrition potential of the one or more medical staff;
the fatigue level of the one or more medical staff;
the patient-loading of the one or more medical staff; and
the alarm-loading of the one or more medical staff.
13 . The computer program product of claim 9 wherein rendering at least a portion of the gathered information based, at least in part, upon the selected viewing lens includes:
graphically indicating information concerning the wellbeing of at least a portion of the one or more medical staff of the one or more medical institutions.
14 . The computer program product of claim 9 wherein rendering at least a portion of the gathered information based, at least in part, upon the selected viewing lens includes:
providing time-based information concerning the wellbeing of at least a portion of the one or more medical staff of the one or more medical institutions.
15 . The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the wellbeing of the one or more medical staff is based, at least in part, upon the quantity and/or authenticity of the alarms to which the one or more medical staff were subjected.
16 . The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the wellbeing of a particular medical staff is reviewable via an individual level viewing lens.
17 . A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
gathering information from a datasource concerning one or more medical professionals within one or more medical institutions, thus defining gathered information;
enabling a user to select a viewing lens from a plurality of available viewing lenses through which to display the gathered information, thus defining a selected viewing lens; and
rendering at least a portion of the gathered information based, at least in part, upon the selected viewing lens.
18 . The computing system of claim 17 wherein the plurality of available viewing lenses includes one or more of:
a macro level viewing lens;
