Abstract: A system for processing patient medical information includes a repository of information associating one or groups of predetermined patient medical parameters to be acquired with at least one identifier identifying a medication and a method of administering the medication. A data processor for using the patient medical information links predetermined patient medical parameters to be acquired for a particular patient in association with the at least one identifier identifying a particular medication for administering, and method of administration for the medication associated with the at least one identifier.

Abstract: A system supports a nursing medication management workflow by providing both a work shift overview of a medication regimen giving nurses a comprehensive view of information needed to plan and track medication administrations throughout a shift and an intuitive and quick way for nurses to document medication administrations. A medication administration information system includes at least one repository of information identifying medications and past and future times for administering medications to patients. A display processor employs data retrieved from the at least one repository in initiating generation of data representing at least one display image presenting tabular data indicating medications previously administered, and to be administered, to a particular patient together with a time indication of administration, for the duration of a work shift associated with the particular patient.
