1. A method for configuring a backlight in a medical management system having a medication management unit and a medical device, the method comprising:
- at the medication management unit;
receiving a selected clinical care area of a drug library;
receiving a default power saving mode off/on setting for A/C powered medical device operation and a power save time out time limit for the selected clinical care area;
updating the drug library with the default power saving mode off/on setting and the power save time out time limit; and
transmitting the updated drug library;
at the medical device in electronic communication with the medication management unit, the medical device having a display including the backlight, the medical device having both an A/C power mode and a non A/C power mode and being operable to run alternatively on one of A/C power in the A/C power mode and non A/C power in the non A/C power mode, the medical device further having a timed display dimming function responsive to the power save time out time limit;
receiving the updated drug library;
receiving a designated clinical care area selection that corresponds to the selected clinical care area from the updated drug library;
setting as a current power saving mode on/off setting for the designated clinical care area selection the default power saving mode on/off setting from the updated drug library; and
operating the medical device in an A/C power mode in accordance with the current power saving mode on/off setting, enabling the timed display dimming function when the current power saving mode on/off setting is set to an on setting and disabling the timed display dimming function when the current power saving mode on/off setting is set to an off setting;
wherein the timed display dimming function, when enabled, is operable to dim the backlight to a preset power saving brightness level after the power save time out time limit, and the timed display dimming function, when disabled, is operable to maintain the backlight at a current brightness level.
