Abstract
Methods, computer systems and computer readable media provide validation of one or more infusions for a patient without requiring barcode scanning. In embodiments, identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions is received based on proximity information. The room is associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions. The clinician is automatically logged into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusion. As a result, the one or more infusions are automatically validated for the patient.
Claims20
One or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions, the room associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions, an identifier corresponding to the patient having a first wireless connection between an infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;
- establishing a second wireless connection between a clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and an identifier corresponding to the patient;
- establishing a third wireless connection between the clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and the infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;
- automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, logging the clinician into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusions;
- and
- automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection and without requiring barcode scanning, validating the one or more infusions for the patient, the validating confirming all associations between the patient, the room, the one or more infusions, the infusion pump, and the clinician.
3 more elements
A computer-implemented method in a clinical computing environment comprising:
- receiving, via a first computing process, an identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions, the room associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions, an identifier corresponding to the patient having a first wireless connection between an infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;
- establishing a second wireless connection between a clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and an identifier corresponding to the patient;
- establishing a third wireless connection between the clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and the infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;
- automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, logging, via a second computing process, the clinician into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusions;
- automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, validating, via a third computing process, the one or more infusions for the patient when the clinician enters the room, the validating confirming all associations between the patient, the room, the one or more infusions, the infusion pump, and the clinician;
- receiving, via a fourth computing process, an indication the infusion pump has started;
- and
- communicating, via a fifth computing process, infusion data to the EMR;
- wherein each computing process is performed by one or more computing devices.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer storage media storing instructions that, when used by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive an identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions, the room associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions, an identifier corresponding to the patient having a first wireless connection between an infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;
- establishing a second wireless connection between a clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and an identifier corresponding to the patient;
- establishing a third wireless connection between the clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and the infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;
- automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, log the clinician into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusions;
- automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection and without requiring barcode scanning, validate the one or more infusions for the patient when the clinician enters the room by confirming all associations between the patient, the room, the one or more infusions, the infusion pump, and the clinician.
