Controlling equipment in a patient care facility based on never-event cohorts from patient care data
Patent number: 11145393Abstract: A computer implemented method modifies a unit of medical equipment based on never-event cohorts, where a never-event is a preventable error experienced by a patient while receiving medical care. One or more processors process patient care data to form digital patient care data. The processor(s) analyze the digital patient care data using cohort criteria to identify a set of never-event attributes from the set of patient care patterns. The processor(s) receive, from a set of sensors, facility event data that describe an electrical fault in a unit of medical equipment used on patients in the patient care facility in order to modify the digital patient care data, and then modify the unit of medical equipment in order to correct the electrical fault based on the modified digital patient care data.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert L.

Patent number: 8700764Abstract: A pass-through module in a blade chassis receives an incoming message that utilizes a transmission protocol from one of multiple transmission protocols. The pass-through module determines which of the multiple transmission protocols is used by the incoming message by: comparing a physical component of the transmission protocol used by the incoming message with known physical components of the multiple transmission protocols, and, if necessary, comparing a logical component of the transmission protocol used by the incoming message with known logical components of the multiple transmission protocols. The incoming message is then routed to an optimal blade that is specifically adapted to process messages that utilize the transmission protocol used by the incoming message.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2009Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert L.
