Medication safety devices and methods
First Claim
1. A medication safety system, comprising:
- one or more data gathering infusion pumps adapted to controllably force fluid outwardly therefrom to a patient; and
an aggregating server configured to receive operational data from the one or more data gathering infusion pumps, the aggregating server including—
a drug list including a plurality of listed drug names;
an aggregator adapted to integrate the drug list and the received operational data to create a drug library having upper hard and soft limits and lower hard and soft limits associated with at least one drug; and
a graphical user interface for viewing, analyzing and modifying the drug library, the graphical user interface displaying a bar chart showing the infusion data and upper and lower soft limit bars for the at least one drug, wherein the upper and lower soft limits can be manipulated by a practitioner to restrict administration of the at least one drug by grabbing and dragging the upper and lower soft limit bars on the graphical user interface in touch-screen fashion to new positions associated with new upper and lower soft limits;
wherein the aggregating server is configured to compare the received operational data with the updated upper and lower soft limits to determine a compliance value representative of a percentage of the received infusion data that falls within the updated upper and lower soft limits; and
wherein upon completion, the drug library is uploaded to an infusion pump for implementation.

Abstract
A medication safety device and method can include an infusion pump and a drug library in communication with the infusion pump. The drug library can have upper hard and soft limits and lower hard and soft limits associated with at least one drug. A graphical user interface can display a bar chart showing upper and lower soft limit bars for the at least one drug. The upper and lower soft limit bars can be grabbed and dragged on the graphical user interface in touch screen fashion to new positions associated with new upper and lower soft limits. The graphical user interface and associated hardware and software can be configurable to responsively re analyze data and compare a particular infusion to the new upper and lower soft limits.
