System and method for comparing and utilizing activity information and configuration information from multiple medical device management systems
First Claim
1. A method of remotely aggregating and selectively allowing data sharing and remote access to medical device data from a plurality of facilities, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at a central computer system remotely located from a plurality of facilities a plurality of established medical device data sets from the plurality of facilities,combining and storing the plurality of established medical device data sets from each of the facilities within a database within a memory of the central computer system;
organizing the combined established medical device data sets into peer groups according to one or more assigned criteria of the facilities wherein at least one of the criteria is selected from the group consisting of institution type, number of beds, medical device type, medical device manufacturer, clinical care area, and service line;
selectively allowing a facility remote access to a central reporting application that is hosted at the remotely located central computer system, wherein the central reporting application is adapted to electronically receive a peer group selection and search parameters from the facility for querying the combined established medical device data sets stored within the memory;
displaying a visualization of information associated with the established medical device data sets, the information being limited based upon the peer group selection and search parameters requested by the facility; and
transmitting configuration information associated with the information associated with the established medical device data sets to an external computing system, the configuration information for configuration of one or more medical devices.

Abstract
A method of aggregating and using medical device data from a plurality of remote institutions. The system and method electronically receives at a central computer system a plurality of established medical device data, each of the plurality of established medical device data being received from a respective medication delivery system, each of the respective medication delivery systems having a respective plurality of medical devices within the respective remote institution, such as medication delivery pumps, associated therewith and utilized therein. The system and method electronically combines and stores the plurality of established medical device data from each of the plurality of remote institutions within a memory, and electronically provides a remote client computer access to at least one of a central reporting application adapted for providing summary information to the remote client computer about the medical device data, and/or other applications.
