Patient-specific medication management system
First Claim
1. A system for use with a medical device for reducing medication errors, the system comprising:
- a medical device that is configurable with operating limit parameters for providing medication to a patient; and
a limiting system comprising;
a memory comprising patient-specific information for the patient and a database comprising acceptable operating parameters for providing the medication to the patient using the medical device, the patient-specific information comprising laboratory data for the patient, the laboratory data comprising at least one of a blood coagulation measure, a vitamin level, a platelet count value, a thromboplastin time, or a serum level;
a processor configured to;
compare the acceptable operating parameters with the laboratory data for the patient before and during administration of the medication to the patient;
provide a modification of the operating limit parameters for providing the medication to the patient based on the comparison of the laboratory data for the patient with the acceptable operating parameters; and
provide a notification for display by the medical device indicating that the operating limit parameters for providing the medication to the patient have been modified based on the patient-specific information, the notification comprising information regarding the modified operating limit parameters.

Abstract
Systems for use with a medical device for reducing medication errors are provided. In one aspect, a system includes a medical device that is configurable with operating limit parameters for providing medication to a patient, and a limiting system. The limiting system includes a memory that includes patient-specific information for the patient and a database includes acceptable operating parameters for providing the medication to the patient using the medical device, and a processor. The processor is configured to compare the acceptable operating parameters with the patient-specific information, and provide a modification of the operating limit parameters for providing the medication to the patient based on the comparison of the acceptable operating parameters with the patient-specific information. Methods and machine-readable media are also provided.

26. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions for causing a processor to execute a method for use with a medical device to reduce medication errors, the method comprising:
-
receiving patient-specific information for a patient, the patient-specific information comprising laboratory data for the patient, the laboratory data comprising at least one of a blood coagulation measure, a vitamin level, a platelet count value, a thromboplastin time, or a serum level; comparing the laboratory data for the patient with a database comprising acceptable operating parameters for a medical device before and during administration of the medication to the patient; providing the modification of operating limit parameters of the medical device for providing a medication to the patient based on the comparison of the laboratory data for the patient with the acceptable operating parameters; and providing a notification for display by the medical device indicating that the operating limit parameters for providing the medication to the patient have been modified based on the patient-specific information, the notification comprising information regarding the modified operating limit parameters.
