First Claim
1. A patient information system comprising:
- a memory storing at least one infusion mapping instruction;
a processor that executes the at least one infusion mapping instruction;
a display device that, using the processor, displays at least a portion of an electronic medical record associated with a patient, and automatically graphically transforms the electronic medical record into an infusion map interactively illustrating associated infusion system components in relation to an infusion therapy;
a diagramming unit that, using the processor, receives the electronic medical record and automatically generates the infusion map showing all intravenous drugs being administered to the patient, wherein, for each of the drugs, the infusion map further illustrating a route of administration for the drug;
a building unit that, using the processor, automatically builds a virtual infusion configuration of an infusion device arrangement, including at least one option for a plurality of infusion equipment associated with the infusion therapy, using the display device by interactively establishing virtual links between the drug and the associated infusion system components in relation to the infusion therapy, each virtual link graphically representing a visual connection between the associated infusion system components, the virtual links comprising at least an interactive representative image of the intravenous drug and an interactive representative image of the route of administration for the intravenous drug, wherein said infusion map schematically represents a list of drugs being administered to the patient intravenously as interactive representative images and, for each of the drugs being administered, schematically represents at least a catheter port at which the drug is entering the patient'"'"'s body as an interactive representative image and an indication of tubing connecting the drug to the catheter port as an interactive representative image;
an order administering unit that, using the processor, allows a user to alter the infusion map having the drug and the associated infusion system components; and
a record updating unit that, using the processor, automatically updates the electronic medical record to correspond to the altered infusion map, and automatically recording a history of the updated electronic medical record in the memory based on the altered infusion map.

Abstract
An infusion map system includes a memory storing at least infusion mapping instructions, and a processor that executes the stored instructions. When the processor executes the infusion mapping instructions, the infusion map system performs a displaying function that displays at least a portion of an electronic medical record associated with a patient and a diagramming function that receives the electronic medical record and generates an infusion map showing all intravenous drugs being administered to the patient. For each of the drugs, the infusion map further illustrates a route of administration for the drug. An order administering function performed by the system allows a user to alter the infusion map, and a record updating function of annotating the electronic medical record to correspond to the altered infusion map.
