Claims26
An automated data consolidation module including a module for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment and a system to receive and record data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment, the automated data consolidation module comprising:
- a housing configured to house the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- a cowling that substantially confines the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- and
- processing circuitry in electrical communication with the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment to receive digital data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- wherein the digital data is automatically delivered to the processing circuitry, and the processing circuitry is configured to automatically save the digital data or processed digital data to an electronic record or database,
- wherein data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment mounted in or on the module can be automatically consolidated by the processing circuitry in electrical communication with the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment,
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to structure and organize the consolidated data from the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment so that it can most effectively populate a “big data” database for subsequent “big data” analytics.
An automated data consolidation module comprising:
- a housing configured to house electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- a cowling that substantially confines the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- a system to receive and record data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- and
- processing circuitry in electrical communication with the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment to receive digital data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- wherein the digital data is automatically delivered to the processing circuitry, and the processing circuitry is configured to add timestamps to the digital data and automatically save the timestamped digital data to an electronic record or database,
- wherein data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment mounted in or on the module can be automatically consolidated by the processing circuitry in electrical communication with the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment,
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to structure and organize the consolidated data from the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment so that it can most effectively populate a “big data” database for subsequent “big data” analytics.
An automated data consolidation module including a module for housing electronic and electromechanical surgical equipment including a system to receive and record data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment, the automated data consolidation module comprising:
- a housing configured to house unrelated electronic and electromechanical surgical equipment;
- a cable and hose management system located on a patient side of the module, wherein the patient side of the module is configured to face a patient and provide the closest and most direct access to the patient;
- and
- processing circuitry in electrical communication with the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment to receive digital data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- wherein the digital data is automatically delivered to the processing circuitry, and the processing circuitry is configured to add timestamps to the digital data and automatically save the timestamped digital data to an electronic record or database.
An automated data consolidation module including a module for housing one or more of electronic and electromechanical medical equipment and a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration and a system to receive and record data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment, the automated data consolidation module comprising:
- a housing configured to house one of more of electronic and electromechanical medical equipment;
- a system for measuring and recording the administration of the one or more IV medications and fluids, the system comprising:
- a barcode reader or an RFID interrogator configured to identify at least one of the one or more IV medications or fluids;
- and
- a machine vision digital camera in electrical communication with processing circuitry configured to determine a volume of medication administered from a syringe or fluid administered from an IV bag through an IV drip chamber into an IV tubing based on an image generated by the machine vision digital camera;
- and
- processing circuitry in electrical communication with the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment and the system for measuring and recording the administration of the one or more IV medications and fluids to receive digital data produced by the electronic and electromechanical medical equipment and system for measuring and recording the administration of the one or more IV medications and fluids;
- and
- wherein the digital data is automatically delivered to the processing circuitry, and the processing circuitry is configured to automatically save the digital data or processed digital data to an electronic record or database.
