Abstract

A sample analysis and medical data acquisition system for patient management includes a first user interface (UI) display module for displaying a medical chart page that includes selectable items associated with patient management. The first UI display module displays a set of medical delivery systems associated with a selectable medical delivery selection item, from which a medical delivery system is chosen. The system includes a second UI display module, in communication with the first UI display module, for displaying parameter fields for entry of operation data associated with the chosen medical delivery system. Medical data is captured from a patient by an analyzer configured to perform analysis of samples from the patient. The medical data is analyzed in accordance with entered operation data. The system includes an analysis display module, in communication with at least the first UI display module, for displaying sample analysis results.

Claims

1. A method of analyzing a patient sample comprising:

displaying a medical chart page comprising a selection list that includes one or more medical delivery devices or systems, wherein the one or more medical delivery devices or systems are configured to deliver one or more types of medical therapy to a patient;

receiving a selection of a medical delivery device or system from the one or more medical delivery devices or systems;

transmitting a request for operation data to;

(i) the selected medical delivery device or system, or (ii) another device or system that is configured to provide the one or more operating parameters for or on behalf of the selected medical delivery device or system, wherein the operation data includes settings used by the selected medical delivery device or system to deliver the one or more types of medical therapy to the patient;

receiving a response from;

(i) the selected medical delivery device or system, or (ii) the another device or system that is configured to provide the one or more operating parameters for or on behalf of the selected medical delivery device or system, wherein the response includes the operation data;

analyzing the patient sample, wherein the analyzing is performed using a processor and one or more disposable cartridges, and comprises;

performing one or more analytical tests on the patient sample to obtain medical data; and

analyzing the medical data in view of the received operation data for the selected medical delivery device or system to obtain sample analysis results, which are an improved interpretation of the medical data; and

displaying the sample analysis results.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying the sample analysis results is contingent upon receiving the operation data.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying the sample analysis results is not contingent upon receiving the operation data.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying a mode selection page in response to receiving the selection of the medical delivery device or system, wherein the mode selection page includes one or more modes of operation available for the selected medical delivery device or system; and

receiving a selection of a mode of operation from the one or more mode of operation.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising mating with the one or more disposable cartridges prior to displaying the medical chart page.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising upon mating with the one or more disposable cartridges, detecting a type(s) of the one or more disposable cartridges.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the medical chart page is displayed based on the detected type(s) of the one or more disposable cartridges.

8. A computer program product for analyzing a patient sample on a computing device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, and the program instructions are readable by the computing device to cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:

displaying a medical chart page comprising a selection list that includes one or more medical delivery devices or systems, wherein the one or more medical delivery devices or systems are configured to deliver one or more types of medical therapy to a patient;

receiving a selection of a medical delivery device or system from the one or more medical delivery devices or systems;

displaying a parameter page comprising one or more parameter fields associated with the selected medical delivery device or system;

receiving operation data entered into the one or more parameter fields, wherein the operation data includes settings used by the selected medical delivery device or system to deliver the one or more types of medical therapy to the patient;

analyzing the patient sample, wherein the analyzing is performed using a processor and one or more disposable cartridges, and comprises;

performing one or more analytical tests on the patient sample to obtain medical data; and

analyzing the medical data in view of the received operation data for the selected medical delivery device or system to obtain sample analysis results, which are an improved interpretation of the medical data; and

displaying the sample analysis results.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the displaying the sample analysis results is contingent upon receiving the operation data.

10. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the displaying the sample analysis results is not contingent upon receiving the operation data.

11. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the method further comprises:

displaying a mode selection page in response to receiving the selection of the medical delivery device or system, wherein the mode selection page includes one or more modes of operation available for the selected medical delivery device or system; and

receiving a selection of a mode of operation from the one or more mode of operation.

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the parameter page is displayed based on the selected medical delivery device or system and the selected mode of operation.

13. A system for analyzing a patient sample comprising:

a processor, a memory, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;

program instructions to display a medical chart page comprising a selection list that includes one or more medical delivery devices or systems, wherein the one or more medical delivery devices or systems are configured to deliver one or more types of medical therapy to a patient;

program instructions to receive a selection of a medical delivery device or system from the one or more medical delivery devices or systems;

program instructions to display a parameter page comprising one or more parameter fields associated with the selected medical delivery device or system;

program instructions to receive operation data entered into the one or more parameter fields, wherein the operation data includes settings used by the selected medical delivery device or system to deliver the one or more types of medical therapy to the patient;

program instructions to analyze the patient sample, wherein the analyzing is performed using the processor and one or more disposable cartridges, and comprises;

performing one or more analytical tests on the patient sample to obtain medical data; and

analyzing the medical data in view of the received operation data for the selected medical delivery device or system to obtain sample analysis results, which are an improved interpretation of the medical data,

wherein the analyzing the medical data in view of the received operation data is dependent upon factors including a type of the system being used to analyze the patient sample, a type of the one or more analytical tests being performed on the patient sample, a type of the selected medical delivery device or system, and the operation data; and

wherein the program instructions are stored on the non-transitory computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the memory.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising:

program instructions to display the sample analysis results;

program instructions to display a mode selection page in response to receiving the selection of the medical delivery device or system, wherein the mode selection page includes one or more modes of operation available for the selected medical delivery device or system; and

program instructions to receive a selection of a mode of operation from the one or more mode of operation.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the parameter page is displayed based on the selected medical delivery device or system and the selected mode of operation.
