Embodiment Construction

[0062] Now, more specifically, figure 1 As an example illustration, association management and fluid delivery management in a medical environment according to embodiments herein are shown.

[0063] As shown, the medical environment 100 includes a network 190 (which may include a packet-switched network, the Internet, WiFi, TM network, etc.), associated management resource 140, information system 165, domain 150-1, domain 150-2, and so on.

[0064] Each domain 150 (eg, domain 150-1, domain 150-2, etc.) in medical environment 100 can represent a location in medical environment 100 where fluid is delivered to a corresponding recipient. The fluid delivery domain can represent a hospital room, an individual's home, and the like.

[0065] In this non-limiting example embodiment, it is assumed that caregiver 106 configures fluid delivery system 125-1 (eg, first pump) to deliver fluid from source 120-1 to recipient 108. Assume that caregiver 106 configures fluid delivery system 125...

Abstract

Via communications with an association management resource, an operator of a respective fluid delivery system can associate a medical device (fluid pump) with a particular entity such as a patient, location, one or more other medical devices, the caregiver, etc. Thereafter, the operator of the fluid delivery system is able to better manage use of the fluid delivery system based on relevant medical information, which is accessible as a result of creating the association. For example, the association management resource gathers and stores information associated with the entity prior to the operator providing the input associating the fluid delivery system with the entity. After the operator of the fluid delivery system creates the association, the medical information associated with the entity is immediately available to the fluid delivery system and / or corresponding operator of the fluid delivery system.

Description

Background technique [0001] Conventional infusion pumps allow caregivers to deliver fluids to patients intravenously. The process of delivering fluid-based drugs requires several operations. For example, a physician must first generate a medicament prescription specifying one or more fluid-based medications to be delivered to a particular hospitalized patient. Typically, a hospital pharmacy receives prescriptions for medications provided by physicians. Based on the pharmacy prescription, the pharmacy dispenses the corresponding physical order by providing the medication to the nursing staff for delivery to the corresponding patient. [0002] In some cases, the medicament prescription includes multiple fluid-based medications that need to be administered intravenously to the respective patient. In such cases, the nursing staff supervising the patient must locate multiple fluid delivery systems (fluid pumps) in the hospital, given that each fluid-based drug must be delivered ...
