MOBILE DISCRETE DATA DOCUMENTATION
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that, when executed perform a method for electronically transferring data associated with a patient from a medical device to an electronic medical record (EMR) that corresponds to the patient, the method comprising:
- receiving a user selection to associate a first patient to a medical device;
in response to receiving the user selection to associate the first patient to the medical device, acquiring the data associated with the first patient from the medical device;
communicating the data to an application for display in a format that allows a user to manipulate the data;
upon receiving an indication that the data is ready to be transmitted to an EMR that corresponds to the first patient, transmitting the data from the application to the EMR that corresponds to the first patient; and
automatically disassociating the first patient and the medical device so that a second patient can be associated with the medical device, wherein the data transmitted to the EMR corresponding to the first patient continues to be stored in the EMR after the first patient is disassociated from the medical device.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for transferring data from a medical device to a patient'"'"'s electronic medical record are provided. Initially, a medical device and a patient are identified, such as by scanning a barcode or searching in an electronically-searchable database. Once identified, the medical device and the patient area associated, and data from the medical device is acquired and sent to a form that allows a user to edit the data or add other information. The user may then indicate that the data is ready to be transmitted to the patient'"'"'s electronic medical record. The medical device and the patient may now be disassociated. The disassociation may be implicit, so that it is not required that a user provide an indication that the patient and medical device are to be disassociated. Rather, the disassociation may occur upon transmittal of the data to the patient'"'"'s EMR.

8. A system having a processor and one or more computer-readable storage media for electronically transferring data associated with a patient from a medical device to an electronic medical record (EMR) that corresponds to the patient, the system comprising:
-
a processing unit; and a memory for storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, executes; a receiving component that receives identifications for the patient and the medical device; an associating component that associates the patient to the medical device in response to receiving an indication that the patient and the medical device are to be associated; an acquiring component that acquires the data from the medical device that is associated with the patient; a transmitting component that transmits the acquired data to an application so that the data can be added to, deleted, or edited prior to being stored in the EMR corresponding to the patient; a publishing component that publishes the data to the EMR that corresponds to the patient such that the data is stored in the EMR in association with the patient, wherein the EMR stores patient information relevant only to the patient'"'"'s medical history and current treatment; and a disassociating component that automatically disassociates the patient from the medical device after the data is transmitted to the EMR corresponding to the patient, allowing for another patient to be associated with the medical device, wherein the data continues to be stored in the EMR corresponding to the patient after the patient is disassociated from the medical device. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. One or more computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that, when executed perform a method for electronically transferring data associated with a patient from a medical device to an electronic medical record (EMR) that corresponds to the patient, the method comprising:
-
receiving an identification of a first patient; receiving an identification of the medical device; in response to receiving the identification of the medical device, acquiring the data associated with the first patient from the medical device; associating the first patient to the medical device; communicating the data to an application for display such that the data can be added to, deleted, or edited by a user prior to the data being transmitted to an EMR associated with the first patient; receiving an indication that the data is to be transmitted to the first patient'"'"'s EMR; transmitting the data from the application to the first patient'"'"'s EMR, the data being stored in the EMR in associated with the first patient; and disassociating the first patient and the medical device after the data is transmitted to the first patient'"'"'s EMR such that the data transmitted to the EMR continues to be stored in the EMR after the first patient is disassociated from the medical device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
