Problems solved by technology

This information retrieval requires each infusion pump to be connected and analyzed separately, requiring a significant amount of time for skilled technicians
In addition, the information retrieved from memory is generally in the form of rows, and before it can be useful to the institution, it can be used to determine whether there are special events or procedures that caused the problem to recur and what needs attention to improve the safety and efficiency of treatment delivery. additional analysis

Abstract

A system and method for logging, analyzing and reporting the occurrence of certain alarm conditions, specifically incorrectly entered or out of range treatment parameters related to providing medical treatment to a patient using, for example, an infusion pump. The alarm conditions may be associated with predetermined treatment protocols and conditions that are stored in a memory of a medical device. The occurrence of an alarm event is stored in a memory, and may be communicated to a hospital or vendor server for analysis. The analysis provides reports, sorted according to predetermined criteria, for use by a care-giving institution to improve the delivery of medical treatment to patients.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for managing patient care in a healthcare facility, and more particularly to a system for integrating and managing information related to medical care, drug infusion, asset identification, and drug infusion verification and methods. Background technique [0002] Medication errors are a serious problem regardless of whether they cause harm in the delivery of health care in an institutional setting. In addition, adverse drug events (ADEs), defined as drug-related harm requiring medical intervention, are a subset of medication errors and represent some of the most serious medication errors, causing substantial patient harm and death. Healthcare organizations are constantly looking for ways to reduce the occurrence of medication errors. Various systems and methods are currently being developed to reduce the frequency and severity of preventable adverse drug events (PADEs) and other medication...
