Abstract

A bedside patient monitor comprises a clinician support system. The clinician support system comprises at least one of the following modules of: a disease-specified decision module (11), disease-specified treatment module (13) or disease-specified observation module (15). The bedside monitor comprises a first interface (105) for manual patient-related input and a second interface (107) for continuous input of a sensor signal. The clinician is supported to deliver requested information and execute the treatment in a predetermined way supported by the clinician support system.

Claims

1. A bedside patient monitor comprising

a clinician support system,

a first interface for manual patient-related input and

a second interface for continuous input of sensor signals, wherein

the clinician support system comprises at least one of the following modules:

a disease specified decision module,

disease-specified treatment module or

disease-specified observation module.

2. A bedside patient monitor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the clinician support system comprises at least one disease-specified treatment module to support the clinician in the treatment process, wherein the disease-specified treatment module being started only by a qualified manual input trigger signal.

3. A bedside patient monitor as claimed in claim 2, wherein the clinician support system comprises at least one observation support module for observation of the treated patient, the disease-specified observation module being activated by a signal generated through deactivation of the disease-specified treatment module.

4. A bedside patient monitor as claimed in claim 2, comprising an indicator for signaling the running treatment procedure.

5. A bedside patient monitor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the clinician support system comprises an information delivery tool to deliver requested information requested by at least one of the disease-specified modules, wherein the information delivery tool generates a pop-up window to trigger manual input through the first interface if the requested information is not available through the interface for automatic input or connected remote sources.

6. A bedside patient monitor as claimed in claim 5, wherein the remote resource is a remote central station or remote microanalysis center.

7. A method of clinician support with disease-specified modules to support decision process, treatment process for observation process, wherein

automatic input is recognized and manual input is triggered to deliver non-available information, wherein

the information being requested by the running supported process to deliver the information through the first interface.

8. A method of clinician support as claimed in claim 7, wherein different disease-specified modules of different diseases could be active in parallel, and only one module of a specified disease is running at the same time.

9. A method of clinician support as claimed in claim 8, wherein the manual input of information request triggered by a running disease-specified treatment module is executed before a manual input request triggered by a running decision module is executed.

10. A method of clinician support as claimed in claim 8, wherein a manual input of information request triggered by a running disease-specified decision module is executed before a manual input request triggered by a running disease-specified observation module is executed.

11. A method of clinician support as claimed in claim 7, wherein an unanswered manual information request will reappear after a predetermined time slice, preferably 5 or 10 minutes.

12. A method as claimed in claim 7, wherein a status overview of a running module is displayed automatically at least once an hour.
