Abstract
A system integrates diagnostic, therapeutic, monitoring and other devices commonly found in a healthcare environment into a Hospital Information System (HIS) to improve the delivery of healthcare. The system uses intelligent, networked diagnostic, therapeutic, monitoring and other devices to provide device performance and availability information. A medical device management system includes a repository of patient medical records and a scheduling system for use in scheduling of a medical procedure for a particular patient. A configuration manager in bidirectional communication with a medical device automatically initiates pre-configuration of the medical device for use in the medical procedure using medical record information of the particular patient derived from the repository, in response to scheduling of the particular patient to receive the medical procedure.
