Abstract: A networked patient care system includes an infusion pump communicatively coupled to a hospital network, a first server communicatively coupled to the infusion pump via the hospital network, and a second server communicatively coupled to the first server via a separate secure connection. The first server is configured to receive infusion pump data from the infusion pump and cause the second server to store the infusion pump data in an HL 7 format to an electronic patient medical record. The first server is also configured to receive a request from a display device to access the electronic patient medical record and cause the second server to convert the infusion pump data in the electronic patient medical record from the HL 7 format to a web-based format. The first server is further configured to transmit the infusion pump data in the web-based format to the display device.

Abstract: A system is disclosed having a server, a dialysis machine configured to connect to the server through a network and client device configured to connect to the server through the network. In one embodiment, the server is configured to maintain an access list to determine whether the client device is authorized to connect to the dialysis machine. The server is further configured to provide a connection for transfer of data between the dialysis machine and the client device. Various methods of accessing the network using the system components are further disclosed.

Abstract: A networked patient care system includes an infusion pump communicatively coupled to a hospital network and configured to perform an infusion treatment on a patient, a dialysis machine communicatively coupled to the hospital network and configured to perform a dialysis treatment on the same patient, and a server communicatively coupled to the infusion pump and the dialysis machine via the hospital network. The server is configured to receive the infusion pump data, receive the dialysis machine, determine that the infusion pump data is related to the dialysis machine data, and determine a display device that is to receive the infusion pump data and the dialysis machine data. The server is further configured to transmit the infusion pump data and the dialysis machine data to the determined display device and cause the display device to display the infusion pump data and the dialysis machine data.

Abstract: A pharmacy system for the automated transfer and processing of electronic medication order information to and from a computerized patient care system associated with a healthcare facility includes a pharmacy engine configured to receive a first HL7 message including information relating to an electronic medication order for a medication that is to be prepared for intravenous administration to a patient, and transmit a second HL7 message including information relating to preparation of the medication corresponding to the electronic medication order, the information from the second HL7 message being used to bill for the medication corresponding to the electronic medication order.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for executing at least one of an alarm or an alert escalation process within a healthcare environment.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for indicating the loss of a wireless communication link within a healthcare facility.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for executing a comparison of a medical device operational parameter to an order.

Abstract: A system is disclosed having a medical device that initiates a communication with a centrally situated server. During this interaction, status and programming information is sent from the medical device to the server. The server stores the information temporarily and dispatches a processed version of the real time or compiled information to the appropriate terminal device when the terminal device initiates its communication or when significant events need to be dispatched to the terminal device.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for executing a comparison of a medical device operational parameter to an order.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for a clinician to obtain information wherein two user interface flows can be integrated together. One user interface flow originates from a validated computer and the other user interface flow originates from a non-validated computer wherein Web pages from the non-validated computer are routed into a conduit residing in the validated computer. Web pages that do not necessitate interaction with the validated computer are routed unmodified to a user terminal. Further, Web pages that do necessitate interaction are indicated as such by the non-validated computer wherein these pages are merged with information originating from the validated computer and then routed to the user terminal.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for remote multi-purpose user interface for medical devices and systems within a healthcare/medication delivery system and/or medication information technology system. The multi-purpose user interface has a housing, a processor, a memory, a communications interface for providing communication between the user interface and a medical device/controller and for providing communications between the user interface and a first central computer, and a display for displaying a medical prompt and for displaying medical information received from the first central computer.
