System and method in a computer system for managing a number of attachments associated with a patient
First Claim
1. A method in a computer system for reducing the risk of adverse clinical events when administering multiple medications to a patient through a common attachment, comprising:
- receiving, via a hospital computing device, a selection of a designated location of a representation of at least a portion of a human body to initiate an attachment, the selection of the designated location causing a graphical indicia indicative of a location of the attachment on the patient to appear at the designated location;
associating, via the hospital computing device, a first medication order for a first medication with the attachment using the graphical indicia;
associating, via the hospital computing device, a second medication order for a second medication with the attachment using the graphical indicia;
determining, via the hospital computing device, whether the first medication and the second medication are compatible with one another when the first medication and the second medication are administered through the attachment, if not, generating an alert; and
using the hospital computing device to display the first medication order and an indication of the location of the attachment on the patient in a tabular form.

6. A computerized system for reducing the risk of adverse clinical events when administering multiple medications to a patient through a common attachment, comprising:
-
a receiving module that receives a selection of a designated location of a representation of at least a portion of a human body to initiate an attachment, the selection of the designated location causing a graphical indicia indicative of a location of the attachment on the patient to appear at the designated location; a first associating module that associates a first medication order for a first medication with the attachment using the graphical indicia; a second associating module that associates a second medication order for a second medication with the attachment using the graphical indicia; a determining module that determines whether the first medication and the second medication are compatible with one another when the first medication and the second medication are administered through the attachment, if not, generating an alert; and a computer that displays the first medication order and an indication of the location of the attachment on the patient in a tabular form. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
