AUTOMATICALLY DISASSOCIATING MEDICAL DEVICES FROM PATIENTS
First Claim
1. One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method for automatically disassociating an infusion device from a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication that an infusion device is associated with a patient and is online;
receiving an indication that the infusion device has gone offline and was not disassociated from the patient;
determining that a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the infusion device went offline; and

Abstract
Systems, methods, computer storage media, and user interfaces are provided for automatically disassociating medical devices from patients. An indication that a medical device is associated with a patient and is online is received. A disruption in the communication with the medical device that has not been disassociated with the patient is identified. In embodiments, the disruption indicates the medical device has lost a wireless connection, is associated with a scheduled downtime, has been powered off, or is offline. Once it is determined that a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the disruption, the medical device is automatically disassociated from the patient. In embodiments, the medical device is retroactively re-associated to the patient if it is determined the medical device should not have been automatically disassociated from the patient.
