Automatic Patient Parameter Acquisition System
First Claim
1. An automatic patient parameter acquisition system supporting prescription of medication, comprising:
- an interface for automatically acquiring data representative of patient height from a patient height measurement device and an associated patient identifier;
a data processor for automatically processing said height representative data for storage in a patient record associated with said patient identifier; and
a storage processor for storing said processed height representative data in said patient record associated with said patient identifier for automatic access by an executable application supporting medication prescription using said patient height.

Abstract
A patient parameter acquisition interface system automatically acquires a patient parameter such as height or weight without human transcription error together with patient vital signs and provides the information to a clinical information system and other workflow applications that automatically use patient height (or other parameters) for calculations such as drug dosage. An automatic patient parameter acquisition system supports prescription of medication and includes an interface for automatically acquiring data representative of patient height from a patient height measurement device and an associated patient identifier. A data processor automatically processes the height representative data for storage in a patient record associated with the patient identifier. A storage processor stores the processed height representative data in the patient record associated with the patient identifier for automatic access by an executable application supporting medication prescription using the patient height.
