Patent number: 6694334Abstract: A method, system, and article of manufacture for ensuring that the content and appearance of medication information is consistent, accurate, and reliable across multiple hospitals, sites, and users. Publicly available databases provide medication information. Relevant data is extracted from such databases and placed into a drug reference table. The drug reference table is combined with a hospital formulary such that the medication information in the formulary is modified, completed, reformatted, etc. Such modifications, completions, and reformatting are conducted by enforcing one or more rules that are applied to elements and attributes of a medication. The resulting medication information content is stored in a hospital formulary file that is accessed and utilized for maintaining, displaying, administering, etc. medication.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Bridge Medical, Inc.Inventors: Donna B. DuLong, Steven R. Wehba, Douglas W. Comer, Joanne S. Stark, Michael A. Kurtz, Barbara Trohimovich

Publication number: 20010056358Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for preventing medication errors by providing warnings at the time of medication administration. A user/administrator of medication and a patient are identified to the system. Once the patient is identified, a graphical user interface (GUI) listing available medications for that patient is displayed. The user selects a medication for administration from the GUI. One or more compliance rules are associated with one or more medications. Each compliance rule provides the text for a comment or warning to be displayed upon the occurrence of a specified condition. The condition may be based on an attribute of the medication or patient such as the name of the medication, allergies of the patient, etc. If a condition is satisfied, the comment/warning in the compliance rule associated with the medication is displayed to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2001Publication date: December 27, 2001Applicant: BRIDGE MEDICAL, INC.,Inventors: Donna B.
