Abstract

A medical device communication system is described. The system includes a plurality of medical devices, a message listener programmed to wirelessly receive a plurality of messages from the plurality of medical devices, a storage device in communication with the message listener for storing the messages, a message distribution device for delivering the messages to a plurality of locations including a system database, an analytics database, and an integration engine. The system is configured such that the system database performs extract, transform, and load operations to generate system specific message objects configured to include the received message used to generate the system specific message object, the analytics database computes and displays a real time analytic information stored in each system specific message objects, and the integration engine is programmed to transmit the system specific message objects and receive a plurality of feedback from a central information system.

Claims

1. A medical liquid pump system comprising:

a plurality of medical pumps;

a message listener programmed to wirelessly receive a plurality of messages from the plurality of medical pumps;

a storage device in communication with the message listener for storing the messages;

a message distribution device for delivering the messages to a plurality of locations including a system database, an analytics database, and an integration engine wherein;

1) the system database performs extract, transform, and load “

ETL”

operations on the messages and generates reports;

2) the analytics database computes and displays a real time analytic information;

3) the integration engine is programmed to transmit the messages and receive a plurality of feedback from a central information system;

the main information system is programmed to produce an order for a pump in the plurality of medical pumps; and

the pump is configured to wirelessly receive and display the order.

2. The medical liquid pump system of claim 1, further including:

a drug library with a plurality of drugs identified in the drug library programmed into each one of the plurality of medical pumps wherein; and

the pump is programmed to identify the order and associate a drug from the order with a drug from the drug library.

3. The medical liquid pump system of claim 2, further including a locator installed in each one of the plurality of medical pumps wherein the central information system communicates wirelessly and is programmed to display a geographic location of each one of the plurality of medical pumps.

4. The medical liquid pump system of claim 3, further including a software uploading device programmed to wirelessly transmit:

1) software to each one of the plurality of medical pumps; and

2) a drug library update for updating the plurality of medical pumps with a current list of drug information.

5. The medical liquid pump system of claim 4, further including a real time monitoring device located in each one of the plurality of medical pumps programmed to receive sensed information from at least one sensor wherein the sensed information includes at least one of blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and heart rhythm.

6. The medical liquid pump system of claim 5, further including a compliance device in each one of the plurality of medical pumps programmed to monitor a pump operation to verify the order was successfully executed, and wherein a report is generated by the compliance device and wirelessly transmitted to the message listener.

7. A medical information management system comprising:

a central database programmed to receive a data from a plurality of medical devices;

a plurality of input devices programmed to wirelessly transmit the data to the central database;

a handshake device programmed in the central database to translate all received data into a language readable by the central database and by a plurality of output devices in wireless communication with the central database;

wherein the input devices includes medical diagnostic equipment, medical pumps, medical imaging devices, and any device capable of gathering an information of a hospital patient.

8. The medical information management system of claim 7, further including a module located within each one of the input devices programmed to wirelessly transmit the data to the central database.

9. The medical information management system of claim 8, further including a filtering device in communication with the central database and programmed to filter the data into a group of distinguished categories.

10. The medical information management system of claim 9, wherein output devices include least one or more of a personal computer, a smart phone, and a tablet computer.

11. The medical information management system of claim 10, wherein the central database is located on a cloud server which is accessible wirelessly in a location where a wireless cell phone signal is reachable.

12. A medical device communication system comprising:

a plurality of medical devices;

a message listener programmed to wirelessly receive a plurality of messages from the plurality of medical devices;

a storage device in communication with the message listener for storing the messages;

a message distribution device for delivering the messages to a plurality of locations including a system database, an analytics database, and
