Matching delayed infusion auto-programs with manually entered infusion programs
First Claim
1. A system configured to identify an acceptable manual infusion program, the system comprising:
- a first computer comprising a computer network interface; and
an infusion pump configured to communicated withsaid first computer using said computer network interface;
wherein said first computer is configured to;
receive an infusion auto-program from a remote source, wherein said infusion auto-program comprises IV drug container information, infusion pump information, and infusion program settings,determine that said first computer is unable to transmit said infusion auto-program to said infusion pump,queue said infusion auto-program, wherein the queued infusion auto-program becomes a stale auto-program, andsend said stale auto-program to said infusion pump when said infusion pump communicates with said first computer; and
wherein said infusion pump is configured to;
receive a manual infusion program,execute said manual infusion program,compare said stale auto-program to said manual infusion program, wherein said comparison is based on one or more factors comprising an approximate time of infusion administration or parameter matching logic comprising infusion parameters,identify potential matches between said stale auto-program and said manual infusion program using the infusion parameters,determine that said potential matches are within a predefined tolerance using one or more configurable rules,continue to execute said manual infusion program on said infusion pump,save differences between said manual infusion program and said stale auto-program,save a first event alert indicating the manual infusion program as an acceptable potential match of said potential matches, andsave a second event alert indicating the auto-program as an un-executed program.

Abstract
A system and method that identifies delayed infusion programs at an infusion pump or with a first computer and an infusion pump. The first computer receives an infusion auto-program from a remote source, transmits the infusion auto-program to the infusion pump, and sends a stale auto-program to the infusion pump. The infusion pump receives a manual infusion program, saves and executes the manual infusion program, and compares the stale auto-program to the manual infusion program to identify potential matches between the stale auto-program and the manual infusion program. The infusion pump evaluates the potential matches and determines if the potential matches are within a predefined tolerance, continues to execute the at least one manual infusion program on the infusion pump if the potential matches are within the predefined tolerance, and remotely saves differences in the manual infusion program and the at stale auto-program in a remote server for later analysis.

1. A system configured to identify an acceptable manual infusion program, the system comprising:
-
a first computer comprising a computer network interface; and an infusion pump configured to communicated with said first computer using said computer network interface; wherein said first computer is configured to; receive an infusion auto-program from a remote source, wherein said infusion auto-program comprises IV drug container information, infusion pump information, and infusion program settings, determine that said first computer is unable to transmit said infusion auto-program to said infusion pump, queue said infusion auto-program, wherein the queued infusion auto-program becomes a stale auto-program, and send said stale auto-program to said infusion pump when said infusion pump communicates with said first computer; and wherein said infusion pump is configured to; receive a manual infusion program, execute said manual infusion program, compare said stale auto-program to said manual infusion program, wherein said comparison is based on one or more factors comprising an approximate time of infusion administration or parameter matching logic comprising infusion parameters, identify potential matches between said stale auto-program and said manual infusion program using the infusion parameters, determine that said potential matches are within a predefined tolerance using one or more configurable rules, continue to execute said manual infusion program on said infusion pump, save differences between said manual infusion program and said stale auto-program, save a first event alert indicating the manual infusion program as an acceptable potential match of said potential matches, and save a second event alert indicating the auto-program as an un-executed program. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for identifying delayed infusion programs at an infusion pump comprising:
-
receiving a stale auto-program from a first computer, receiving a manual infusion program from a caregiver, executing said manual infusion program received from said caregiver, comparing said stale auto-program to said manual infusion program, wherein said comparing is based on an approximate time of infusion administration and parameter matching logic comprising infusion administration parameters and infusion pump operating parameters, identifying potential matches between said stale auto-program and said manual infusion program using the infusion pump operating parameters and the infusion administration parameters, determining that said potential matches are within a predefined tolerance using one or more configurable rules, and saving differences in said manual infusion program and said stale auto-program. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
