First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for verifying medical device settings within a healthcare system comprising the steps of:
- transmitting data relating to operational parameters for delivery of a first fluid from the medical device to a first computer;
transmitting data relating to an order from a second computer to the first computer;
storing data relating to the order in a memory of the first computer;
initiating a comparison of the operational parameters sent from the medical device and at least a portion of the order via an input device of a remote computer;
after initiating the comparison, the first computer comparing at least one of the operational parameters sent from the medical device to the portion of the order;
displaying a result of the comparison of the operational parameters sent from the medical device to the portion of the order on a display device of the remote computer;
if the operational parameters sent from the medical device match the portion of the order, displaying an instruction on the display device of the remote computer;
initiating a comparison of piggyback operational parameters for delivery of a second fluid in addition to the first fluid sent from the medical device and at least a portion of the order via the input device of the remote computer;
after initiating the comparison of the piggyback operational parameters, the first computer comparing at least one of the piggyback operational parameters sent from the medical device to the portion of the order; and
if the piggyback operational parameters sent from the medical device matches the portion of the order, displaying an instruction on the display device of the remote computer.

11. A method for comparing medical device settings to orders within a healthcare system comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting data relating to programmed settings including at least a programmed infusion rate from the medical device to a first computer; storing the data relating to settings in the memory of the first computer; transmitting data relating to an order including at least a prescribed infusion rate from a second computer to the first computer; storing data relating to the order in a memory of the first computer; initiating a comparison of the programmed infusion rate for delivery of a first fluid and the prescribed infusion rate via an input device of a remote computer; after initiating the comparison, the first computer comparing the programmed infusion rate to the prescribed infusion rate; transmitting a comparison result signal to the remote computer; displaying the comparison result on a display device of the remote computer; and if the programmed infusion rate matches the prescribed infusion rate, displaying an instruction on the display device of the remote computer; initiating a comparison of piggyback programmed settings for delivery of a second fluid in addition to the first fluid sent from the medical device and at least a portion of the order via the input device of the remote computer; after initiating the comparison of the piggyback programmed settings, the first computer comparing at least one of the piggyback programmed settings sent from the medical device to the portion of the order; and if the piggyback programmed settings match the portion of the order, displaying an instruction on the display device of the remote computer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A system for comparing medical device settings to orders within a healthcare system, comprising:
-
a medical device having a communication interface for transmitting data relating to operational parameters of the medical device; a first computer having a communication interface for receiving the data relating to the medical device'"'"'s operational parameters and for receiving data relating to a medication order, the first computer further having a memory for storing the data, a processor performing a comparison of at least one of the operational parameters for delivery of a first fluid sent from the medical device to at least a portion of the order after initiation of the comparison from an input device of a remote computer, and a transmitter for transmitting a comparison result signal of the comparison results to the remote computer, wherein if the operational parameters match the portion of the order, the remote computer displays an instruction, the processor further performing a comparison of piggyback operational parameters for delivery of a second fluid in addition to the first fluid sent from the medical device to at least a portion of the order via the input device of the remote computer after initiation of the comparison from an input device of a remote computer, wherein if the piggyback operational parameters match the portion of the order, the remote computer displays an instruction; and a second computer that sends the data relating to the medication order to the first computer. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
