Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for distributing notifications to a user. The method can include receiving data encapsulating notifications from a device connected to a network that provide information relating to the device's status. The device can provide a health related treatment. The method can associate each notification with one or more notification categories relating to a function performed by the device or a location of the device. A table of users having one or more subscriptions to these notification categories can be accessed. The subscriptions can be automatically assigned to users based on the users' role. A user can be identified from the table to distribute the one or more notifications to. The user can have a subscription that matches a notification category of the received notifications, and data comprising the notifications can be distributed to the user. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Centralized systems execute one or more applications for monitoring and operating a plurality of network enabled medical devices. An indication to start a selected application at the centralized system or at a network enabled medical device is received at the centralized system/network enabled medical device. The selected application may require a license to operate and, at the time the indication is received, may have a first license available. Instead of using the first license, the centralized system/network enabled medical device may determine to inherit at least a portion of a second license to operate the selected application. The centralized system/network enabled medical device may inherit at least the portion of the second license to form an inherited license, where the inherited license enables features of the selected application. Using the inherited license, the selected application is started with the enabled features. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Loading of a component to an operating system process that is being executed on a node is initiated. Thereafter, a first available resource location is sequentially determined among a plurality of ranked component resource locations and according to the ranking. Subsequently, the component is loaded to the operating system process via the first available resource location. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Adding of a component to an operating system process that is being executed on a node of a computing system comprising memory and at least one data processor is first initiated. The node is one of a plurality of nodes in a service oriented computing architecture. Thereafter, the component can be accessed from a local resource if available locally otherwise initiating a service to access the component exposed as a network service on a remote node of a centralized system. The component can then be deployed within the operating system process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for generating an alert to perform maintenance on a medical device based on actual usage of the medical device. In one aspect, the method can include measuring a parameter value for a parameter type. The parameter type can be associated with a component in a medical device connected to a network and related to a function performed by the component. The method can further include locally storing at the medical device the measured parameter value, the parameter type, and a first value that indicates when the measured parameter value was measured; accessing a maintenance threshold value that specifies a performance limit for the parameter type; comparing the maintenance threshold value with the measured parameter value; and generating an alert based on the comparing to indicate that maintenance is needed for the component. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: A collaborative review of a data set can be initiated that specifies a plurality of user-modifiable configuration settings for a medical device. Thereafter, first user-generated input can be received via a graphical user interface that selects at least one recipient entity to review the data set. Second user-generated input can be received that identifies an area of the data set to be reviewed by the at least one recipient entity. Data can then be transmitted to the at least one recipient entity that includes the identified area of the data set or a pointer to the identified area of the data set. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for comparing two data sets and generating a report based on the comparing. In one aspect, the method can include accessing an original data set having one or more fields and accessing a revised data having one or more corresponding fields. The original and revised data sets can include original and revised configuration setting, respectively, for one or more medical devices. The method can further include comparing the fields in the revised data set with the fields in the original data set and generating a report based on the comparing. This report can characterize the differences between the fields in the original data set and the revised data set and identify these differences with formatting representative of the difference. The method can further include providing data characterizing the report. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for monitoring treatment related files for the occurrence of audit events and logging these occurrences. In one aspect, there is provided a method that can include associating one or more audit events with one more files stored in a database. The files can be related to providing a treatment to a patient, and the audit events can include the viewing of the one or more files. The method can further include monitoring the one or more files for an occurrence of the one or more associated audit events, and adding a log entry to a log when the associated audit events occurs in the files. The log entry can identify the files in which the associated audit events occurs and an entity that initiated the audit event. Related apparatus, computer program products, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Application data and configuration data is stored for a medical device in a first centralized system and also stored in a second centralized system. The first and second centralized systems communicate via a network connection that is intermittently available. During a cessation of the network connection between the first and second centralized systems, a data update may occur by at least one of: pushing data from the first centralized system to at least one data store in the medical device, and pulling data from at least one data store in the medical device to the first centralized system. During a resumption of the network connection between the first and second centralized systems, at least one data store in the first centralized system may be synchronized with a corresponding at least one data store in the second centralized system. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, articles, and computer readable media are also described.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for transferring files from a file transfer queue and modifying the file transfer sequence. In one aspect, the method can include maintaining a file transfer queue of at least one file. The file transfer queue can include a plurality of queue positions including a top position, and each queue position can store one of the files. Each file can be associated with a transfer destination device and a delivery parameter. The delivery parameter can indicate a delivery priority. The method can further include moving a file to the top position based on the associated delivery parameter, determining whether the transfer destination devices associated with the file in the top position is connected to a network, and transferring the file in the top position to the associated transfer destination device based on the determining.
