1. A system comprising:
- one or more receiving devices configured to detect one or more wireless transmitters; and
one or more computing devices configured to;
determine, based on a wireless transmitter associated with a medication being detected by the one or more receiving devices in a predefined physical space, that the medication has moved into the predefined physical space with a medical device and a patient;
provide to the medical device, without user intervention based on detecting that the medication is within the predefined physical space with the medical device and the patient, an identifier for the medication determined to be within the predefined physical space with the medical device and the patient, for display by the medical device;
receive a selection of the medication from the medical device;
confirm that the selected medication has been ordered for the patient; and
automatically provide to the medical device, based on receiving the selection of the selected medication and confirming that the selected medication has been ordered, operating parameters for configuring the medical device to administer the medication.
