Reducing disruption during medication administration
First Claim
1. A computerized method carried out by one or more computing devices having one or more processors that performs a method of automatically and without human intervention monitoring an intravenous (IV) infusion of a medication to a patient in a clinical care room, the method comprising:
- identifying an order for the medication to be administrated to the patient by an IV infusion pump;
automatically modifying at least two physical components within the clinical care room assigned to the patient based on the order for the medication, each of the at least two physical components being modified from a first setting to a second setting;
automatically and without human intervention monitoring, via one or more monitoring devices in the clinical care room, one or more patient parameters associated with the patient in the clinical care room while the medication is being administered via the IV infusion pump;
determining, using the one or more processors, that there is a change in at least one of the one or more patient parameters that exceeds a predefined threshold; and
automatically and without human intervention adjusting settings associated with the IV infusion pump.

Abstract
Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media are provided for transitioning a clinical care room from a first scene to a second scene in order to facilitate completion of a medication-administration process. The first scene in the clinical care room is presented where the clinical care room has one or more zones. The first scene is associated with a first group of setting for components within the one or more zones. An input indicating that the medication-administration process has been initiated is received. Incident to receiving the input, the second scene is provided. The second scene is associated with a second group of settings for the components. The second group of settings is optimized to facilitate completion medication-administration process.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having embodied thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method of automatically and without human intervention monitoring an intravenous (IV) infusion of a medication to a patient in a clinical care room, the method comprising:
-
identifying an order for the medication to be administrated to the patient by an IV infusion pump; automatically modifying at least two physical components within the clinical care room assigned to the patient based on the order for the medication, each of the at least two physical components being modified from a first setting to a second setting; automatically and without human intervention monitoring, via one or more monitoring devices in the clinical care room, one or more patient parameters associated with the patient in the clinical care room while the medication is being administered via the IV infusion pump; determining, using the one or more processors, that there is a change in at least one of the one or more patient parameters that exceeds a predefined threshold; and automatically and without human intervention adjusting settings associated with the IV infusion pump. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for automatically and without human intervention monitoring an intravenous (IV) infusion of a medication to a patient in a clinical care rooms, the system comprising:
a computing device associated with the clinical care room, the computing device having one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media;
one or more monitoring devices in the clinical care room communicatively coupled to the computing device; and
a data store communicatively coupled with the computing device;
wherein the computing device;identifies an order for the medication to be administrated to the patient by an IV infusion pump; automatically modifies at least two physical components within the clinical care room assigned to the patient based on the order for the medication, each of the at least two physical components being modified from a first setting to a second setting; automatically and without human intervention monitors, receives one or more patient parameters associated with the patient in the clinical care room via the one or more monitoring devices, the one or more patient parameters being received while the medication is being administered via the IV infusion pump; determines that there is a change in at least one of the one or more patient parameters that exceeds a predefined threshold; and automatically and without human intervention adjusts settings associated with the IV infusion pump. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
