  • Patent number: 11880787
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a menu for an adapted a medical workflow implemented at a computer coupled to a hospital network is disclosed. The disclosed system and method generates a workflow including a list of predicted medical action options for a medical object based, in part, on a determined operating state or vital state of a patient, creates a menu for displaying the list of predicted medical action options, and communicates the menu for display on a graphic interface. Certain menu selections pertaining to predicted medical action options may be disabled based on state values associated with the medical object.

  • Patent number: 11170325
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a menu for an adapted a medical workflow implemented at a computer coupled to a hospital network is disclosed. The disclosed system and method generates a workflow including a list of predicted medical action options based on an identified healthcare worker and based on a determined operating state or vital state of a patient, creates a menu for displaying the list of predicted medical action options, disables one or more of the predicted medical action options in the menu based on the determined one or more state values associated with an identified medical object, and communicates for display on a graphic interface the menu comprising the disabled one or more predicted medical action options, wherein the disabled one or more predicted medical action options is visible in the menu but unselectable by the healthcare worker.

  • Patent number: 6510858
    Abstract: A washing device (10) includes a chamber (12) with a front door (24). The door is pivotable between a vertical closed position and a horizontal open position. An article carrying assembly (34) is moveable from inside the washing device to an upper surface (26) of the open door. A lifting system (72) moves the front door between lower and upper positions (74, 76). The lifting system includes a follower (154) to which the front door is pivotally mounted. A motor (80) transmits power to a pair of chains (110, 116), which drive the follower along a guide (156) to move the door up and down. Alternatively, the lifting system includes a cable (182) coupled to a fluid cylinder (180). When the door is in the upper position, an operator can move the rack to a transfer cart or load and unload the article carrying assembly, all while in a substantially erect position.
