Decision support tool for use with a medical monitor-defibrillator
First Claim
1. For use in a medical device for providing decision support to a caregiver:
- a defibrillation processor configured to control an administration of an electrical charge as part of a defibrillation administration; and
a decision support module configured to provide decision support to the caregiver during operation of the medical device, the decision support module comprising;
a task file module configured to manage one or more task files, the task files defining a workflow of one or more interdependent tasks to be performed and defining and enabling interactions between the interdependent tasks;
a configuration file module configured to manage one or more configuration files, the configuration files specifying a configuration for execution of the one or more interdependent tasks by providing configurations for data and data flows for a task defined by the task files of the task file module;
a bank configured to provide one or more of;
data, model profiles, events, and protocols to the decision support module, the bank fed with medical data from the medical device;
a decision support manager module configured to construct a dependency graph modeling the workflow of interdependent tasks defined by the task files of the task file module using configurations for each interdependent task provided by the configuration file module; and
a dashboard generator configured to provide a visual, audio, or audio-visual display, based on the dependency graph constructed by the decision support manager module, the visual, audio, or audio-visual display configured to provide enhanced coaching to the caregiver to cause the caregiver to perform at least one of a treatment or monitoring, at least one of the treatment including administration of a treatment via the defibrillation processor.

Abstract
Work flows are modeled as a graph of interdependent tasks to be performed. The tasks to be performed are set by a task file module configured to enable interactions between tasks and including modules for event viewing, protocol assistance, smart messaging, smart indices, reference material lookup. A decision support manager module is configured to construct data and model profiles for storage in a data and model profile bank, events for storage in a decision support events bank, and protocols for storage in a decision support protocol bank. Configuration files are provided to specify a configuration for execution of one of the tasks. Data entered through a user interface or from a network via a wireless or wired communication module may define task files in the task files module, configuration files in the configuration files module, as well as data, events, and protocols to be used for a defibrillation procedure. A decision support manager module is configured to construct a dependency graph of tasks as specified in at least one of the configuration files and to execute the dependency graph.

46. A system for providing decision support to a caregiver comprising:
-
a medical device comprising; a treatment module configured to at least one of administer a treatment, control administration of a treatment or assist an administration of a treatment, the treatment including delivery of a defibrillation pulse; a decision support module comprising; a task file configured to define a workflow of one or more interdependent tasks to be performed and to define and enable interactions between the interdependent task; a configuration file configured to specify a configuration for execution of the one or more interdependent tasks by providing configurations for data and data flows for a task defined by the task files of a task file module; a data and model profile bank configured to store one or more of data and one or more model profiles for the task file; a decision support event bank configured to store one or more events for the task file; a decision support protocol bank configured to store one or more priorities for the task file; and a decision support manager module configured to construct a dependency graph of tasks as specified in the configuration file, the dependency graph providing enhanced coaching to the caregiver to cause the caregiver to perform at least one of a treatment or monitoring, the treatment including at least one of treatment via the treatment module or treatment assisted by the treatment module; and an external utility in communication with the medical device configured to exchange data between the medical device and the external utility for one or more of configuring the task file, configuring the configuration file, feeding data and model profile to the data and model profile bank, feeding decision support events to the decision support event bank, and feeding decision support protocols to the decision protocol bank. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)
