Patient-specific medication management system
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a medical device that is configurable with operating limit parameters that limit operating parameters for providing medication to a patient; and
a limiting system comprising;
a memory comprising patient-specific information for the patient and a database comprising a plurality of sets of acceptable operating parameters for providing the medication to the patient using the medical device, the patient-specific information comprising patient demographic information and patient physiological information; and
a processor configured to;
compare the acceptable operating parameters with the patient-specific information before and during administration of the medication to the patient;
provide, to the medical device, a modification of the operating limit parameters based on the comparison of the patient-specific information with the acceptable operating parameters; and
provide a notification for display by the medical device indicating that the operating limit parameters for providing the medication to the patient have been modified based on the patient-specific information, the notification comprising information regarding the modified operating limit parameters,wherein the medical device is configurable with the operating limit parameters for providing a mixture comprising a plurality of medications to the patient, wherein the acceptable operating parameters include acceptable operating parameters for providing the mixture to the patient using the medical device,wherein the acceptable operating parameters comprise a plurality of rules indicating whether the patient-specific information comprises a value that is within or exceeds a threshold defined in accordance with a medical condition of the patient, andwherein at least one of the rules indicates a maximum total amount of the medication to provide to the patient and a maximum total amount of the medication to provide to the patient over a period of time.

Abstract
Systems for use with a medical device for reducing medication errors are provided. In one aspect, a system includes a medical device that is configurable with operating limit parameters for providing medication to a patient, and a limiting system. The limiting system includes a memory that includes patient-specific information for the patient and a database includes acceptable operating parameters for providing the medication to the patient using the medical device, and a processor. The processor is configured to compare the acceptable operating parameters with the patient-specific information, and provide a modification of the operating limit parameters for providing the medication to the patient based on the comparison of the acceptable operating parameters with the patient-specific information. Methods and machine-readable media are also provided.
