Publication number: 20150363573Abstract: Patient-care device specific configuration output for use in configuring a patient care device for administration of a therapy to a patient. The configuration output may be generated based on an order for a therapy and an identified patient care device to be used to administer the therapy to a patient. The generation of the configuration output may include modification of information received with the order to correspond to a corresponding configuration protocol of the patient care device to be used to administer the therapy to a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Dennis I.

Publication number: 20150286799Abstract: A system for preparing and managing patient-specific dose orders includes an order processing server configured to receive the patient-specific dose orders, define a queue of dose orders and distribute the dose orders to at least one dose preparation station. The dose preparation station is in bi-directional communication with the order processing server and has an interface for providing an operator with a protocol associated with each received drug order and specifying a set of steps to fill the drug order. Steps to fill the drug order are captured at the station and a display, positionable independent of the station outputs the dose order queue and metrics concerning activity at the dose preparation station. Systems for preparing patient-specific doses and a method for telepharmacy in which data captured while following the protocol are provided to a remote site for review and approval by a pharmacist.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Bhavesh Padmani, Matthew Crooks, Maher Yassine, Bapu Hirave, Robert Kelly Hammond, Jayson Lee Bender, Matthew A.

Publication number: 20150278477Abstract: A method and software interface enables selective processing of data transmissions containing one or more medication orders intended for a pharmacy. Data transmissions are monitored and parsed for prescribed information which is utilized to populate a prescribed data structure. The data structure and parsing rules can be associated with a specific source that can be determined from the data transmission. The parsed data is tested against an order database to determine suitability for automated handling. If suitable, the medication preparation system prepares the medications identified by the data. Those portions of the data that are not suited for automated handling are released (e.g., from the parser). Further verification can be performed by determining the source of the data transmission and verifying it as a valid source. Data transmissions can be monitored over a network, within a network component, or in cooperation with another software program.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2015Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Dennis Tribble, Joel A. Osborne

Publication number: 20120185277Abstract: Central management of dose order preparation retrieves an unprocessed dose order record, selects a workstation from a set of workstations, forwards the order for conversion into a drug dosage form, and repeats the process for additional unprocessed dose order records. Depending on the operation type of the selected workstation (manual, automatic), protocol information concerning preparation of the dose order is selectively provided to the selected workstation. Interrogatable elements enable tracking of dose orders and dosage forms throughout preparation, storage and distribution cycles. Further methods enable rapid fulfillment by utilizing inventory ahead of drug order processing if suitable dosage forms exist in inventory records.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2012Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: ForHealth Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Tribble, Joel A.

Patent number: 8151835Abstract: An automated medication preparation system for delivering a dosage of medication to a drug delivery bag having a fill port through which the medication is delivered into the bag includes an automated transport device for controllably delivering each drug delivery bag from one location to another location via a driven member. The system has a carrier that releasably captures and holds a portion of the bag and orients each bag such that the fill port of each bag is positioned at a uniform location relative to the carrier. The carrier is coupled to the transport device such that movement of the driven member is translated into movement of the carrier and the captured drug delivery bag. An automated drug delivery device is part of the system and includes a drug delivery member that sealingly mates with the fill port for delivering the dosage of medication to the bag.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2007Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: FHT, Inc.Inventors: Abdul Wahid Khan, Dennis Tribble, Joel A.
