  • Patent number: 8816856
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a status of a medical instrument is provided. Using an input peripheral associated with a computer terminal, a code associated with the medical instrument to be subjected to a cleaning operation after a previous use of the medical instrument is received. A timer for monitoring a duration of the cleaning operation is initiated. In response to completion of the cleaning operation determined based on the timer, a status of the medical instrument in an electronic record associated with the medial instrument stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium is updated to indicate that the medical instrument has been cleaned. An indication that the cleaning operation being performed on the medical instrument is complete is then issued.

  • Publication number: 20110077966
    Abstract: A method of managing information related to immunotherapy treatment in a computer system is provided. The computer system includes an input peripheral system for reading a computer-readable code and inputting the computer-readable code into the computer system. An antigen having a predetermined concentration is associated with a master code that is computer readable to at least identify the antigen and the concentration of the antigen associated with the master code. An antigen recipe to be administered to the patient during immunotherapy treatment is associated with an antigen recipe code that is computer readable to identify each antigen included in the antigen recipe that is to be administered to the patient. In response to receiving the master code read by the input peripheral system in communication with the computer system, the antigen and the concentration of the antigen are associated with the antigen recipe code.

  • Publication number: 20110074585
    Abstract: Provided are a method and system for tracking a patient at a medical facility. Tracking the patient includes, using a computer comprising an input peripheral manipulated by a user, receiving a first location of the patient within the medical facility identified by the user via the input peripheral. The first location is displayed on a display device operatively connected to the computer, the first location being identified by a graphical marker representing the first location where the patient can be found. In response to a user interaction with the input peripheral, a second location of the patient is received, indicating movement of the patient from the first location to the second, different location. In response to receiving the second location, the graphical marker on the display device operatively connected to the computer is moved to identify the second location where the patient can be found after being moved.
