Abstract

An apparatus and method for generating a prescription form is disclosed. The method includes displaying a first menu containing a plurality of therapy menu items. The method also includes displaying a second menu containing at least one qualifier menu item. The method further includes displaying a third menu containing at least one drug menu item. The method includes, upon selection of a therapy menu item, a qualifier menu item, and a drug menu item, selecting a protocol including one or more patient specific pump parameters corresponding to the therapy menu item, the qualifier menu item, and the drug menu item. The method also includes displaying a prescription form including at least one of the one or more patient specific pump parameters.

Claims

1. A method of generating a prescription form comprising:

displaying a first menu containing a plurality of therapy menu items;

displaying a second menu containing at least one qualifier menu item;

displaying a third menu containing at least one drug menu item;

upon selection of a therapy menu item, a qualifier menu item, and a drug menu item, selecting a protocol including one or more patient specific pump parameters corresponding to the therapy menu item, the qualifier menu item, and the drug menu item;

displaying a prescription form including at least one of the one or more patient specific pump parameters.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying usage notes describing application of the protocol corresponding to the selected therapy menu item, qualifier menu item, and drug menu item.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying drug information.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising printing the prescription form.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the therapy menu item corresponds to a therapy.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the qualifier menu item corresponds to a qualifier.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the drug menu item corresponds to a drug.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the therapy menu item, the qualifier menu item, and the drug menu item are selected sequentially to generate an index corresponding to the protocol.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the protocol further includes one or more non patient specific pump parameters.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the programmable circuit is programmed to display only the patient specific pump parameters.

11. An apparatus for generating a prescription form, the apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store a plurality of therapy menu items, qualifier menu items, and drug menu items;

a monitor;

a programmable circuit in electrical communication with the memory and the monitor, the programmable circuit programmed to generate and display a graphical user interface configured to;

display a first menu containing at least one therapy menu item;

display a second menu containing at least one qualifier menu item;

display a third menu containing at least one drug menu item;

upon selection of a therapy menu item, a qualifier menu item, and a drug menu item, select a protocol including one or more patient specific pump parameters corresponding to the therapy menu item, the qualifier menu item, and the drug menu item;

display a prescription form including at least one of the one or more patient specific pump parameters.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the programmable circuit is further configured to display usage notes describing application of the protocol corresponding to the selected therapy menu item, qualifier menu item, and drug menu item.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the programmable circuit is further configured to display drug information.

14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the programmable circuit is further configured to print the prescription form.

15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the therapy menu item corresponds to a therapy.

16. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the qualifier menu item corresponds to a qualifier.

17. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the drug menu item corresponds to a drug.

18. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the therapy menu item, the qualifier menu item, and the drug menu item are selected sequentially to generate an index corresponding to the protocol.

19. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the protocol further includes one or more non patient specific pump parameters.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the programmable circuit is programmed to display only the patient specific pump parameters.
