Real time clinical decision support system having medical systems as display elements
First Claim
1. A clinical decision support system for patient treatment comprising:
- a monitoring system operably coupled to a patient, said monitoring system passively engaging with the patient, said monitoring system outputting a first physiological monitoring signal in response to a measured parameter of the patient, said monitoring system further operably coupled to a medical system associated with the patient, said medical system actively engaging with the patient to effect a physiological response in the patient, said monitoring system outputting a second physiological monitoring signal in response to a detected condition of the medical system;
a controller receiving said first and second physiological monitoring signals and continuously calculating a secondary, non-measurable parameter of the patient based on said measured parameter, said controller performing an automated calculation and outputting a display signal in response to said automated calculation for use in patient treatment decision-making, said automated calculation being determined by said controller based on at least said first physiological monitoring signal, said secondary, non-measurable parameter, data derived from the patient'"'"'s previously-recorded demographic data, and health data impacting an interpretation of said first and second physiological monitoring signals derived from an electronic source other than said first physiological monitoring signal and said medical system; and
a display device operably coupled to said controller and receiving said display signal, said display device having a plurality of display indicia where at least one of the plurality of display indicia is responsive to said display signal, wherein at least one of said plurality of display indicia being substantially shaped as a readily-identifiable organ and operable to actively display a condition indicative of an associated organ of the patient.

Abstract
A clinical decision support system for patient treatment that incorporates patient data to display information in readily identifiable icons for vital organs and medical systems, and in a useable, real-time, updated fashion that extracts data from the medical history, the current medical management, the current physiologic monitors, and associated medical systems to produce warnings and alerts to enable caregivers to be made aware of physiologic systems at risk. These data are not only presented, but also use real-time queries and calculations to enable caregivers to have the types of data that would traditionally assist them in patient care but only be available by reviewing the medical literature and/or doing retrospective individual calculations while providing patient care.
