Abstract: A wireless medical room control arrangement includes a wireless controller having a wireless router. A room identifier and a device identifier are stored in the controller. A communication interface sends commands to and receives commands from the wireless controller. In response to commands from the interface, the wireless controller sends wireless control signals to operate medical devices in the room. A room monitor adjacent a doorway provides room identifiers to medical devices and wireless controllers entering the room and provides dummy identifiers to medical devices and controllers exiting the room. The room monitors may connect to a global network processor that determines the location of the medical devices in a medical facility.

Abstract: Technologies for determining healthcare relationships include a healthcare insight computing device communicatively coupled to multiple patient data providers. The healthcare insight computing device is configured to determine one or more relationships between received data and previously received patient data associated with one or more patients. The healthcare insight computing device is further configured to correlate the ingested data as a function of the determined relationships and enrich the correlated patient data to form a new data element. Additionally, the healthcare insight computing device is configured to transmit the new data element to a raw data cluster such that visual representations of the data elements of the raw data cluster and the relationships there between can be displayed. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing diagnostic errors due to transposition of biological specimens among subjects provides for independent biometric confirmation that a given specimen is from a given donor. In certain embodiments, a biological specimen confirmation kit comprises a portable and openable case housing components of the kit, at least one biological specimen container adapted to receive a biological testing specimen from a donor, and at least one reference sample device adapted to receive a biological reference specimen from the same donor, such that the testing and reference specimens can later be compared for donor match verification by a reference verification entity.
