Abstract
A drug library management system facilitates centralized management of the drug libraries that are used by various infusion pumps, including in clinical environments that have different types and/or versions of infusion pumps. Medications, administration rules, critical care area rules, and the like can be maintained using the drug library management system. The drug library management system can generate and distribute drug library data in pump-specific formats or other customized formats as needed.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- as performed by a connectivity adapter comprising computing hardware configured to operate as an intermediary between a plurality of infusion pumps and a server,
- receiving customized drug library data formatted according to a pump-specific format associated with a first infusion pump type of a plurality of infusion pump types, wherein the customized drug library data represents a plurality of medications and a plurality of administration rules;
- receiving generalized drug library data, wherein the generalized drug library data represents the plurality of medications and the plurality of administration rules, and wherein the generalized drug library data includes data not included in the customized drug library data;
- sending the customized drug library data to an infusion pump associated with the first infusion pump type;
- storing the generalized drug library data in a computer-readable storage, wherein a prior version of the generalized drug library data is stored in the computer-readable storage;
- receiving, from the infusion pump, an infusion message regarding an infusion event at the infusion pump, the infusion message comprising a message sequence identifier that corresponds to a sequential identifier of the infusion message among a plurality of infusion messages regarding infusion events at the infusion pump, and a medication identifier that corresponds to a medication infused by the infusion pump;
- determining that the infusion message is associated with a prior version of the customized drug library data based at least partly on the message sequence identifier, wherein the infusion message is unable to be transformed into a standardized message using the generalized drug library data;
- automatically generating a standardized message by transforming the infusion message using the prior version of generalized drug library data;
- and
- sending the standardized message to the server.

A system comprising:
- a connectivity adapter configured to operate as an intermediary between a server and a plurality of infusion pumps, wherein the connectivity adapter comprises one or more processors in communication with computer-readable memory and programmed by executable instructions to:
- receive customized drug library data formatted according to a pump-specific format associated with a first infusion pump type of a plurality of infusion pump types, wherein the customized drug library data represents a plurality of medications and a plurality of administration rules;
- receive generalized drug library data, wherein the generalized drug library data represents the plurality of medications and the plurality of administration rules, and wherein the generalized drug library data includes data not included in the customized drug library data;
- send the customized drug library data to an infusion pump associated with the first infusion pump type;
- store the generalized drug library data in a computer-readable storage, wherein a prior version of the generalized drug library data is stored in the computer-readable storage;
- receive, from the infusion pump, an infusion message regarding an infusion event at the infusion pump, the infusion message comprising a message sequence identifier that corresponds to a sequential identifier of the infusion message among a plurality of infusion messages regarding infusion events at the infusion pump, and a medication identifier that corresponds to a medication infused by the infusion pump;
- determine that the infusion message is associated with a prior version of the customized drug library data based at least partly on the message sequence identifier, wherein the infusion message is unable to be transformed into a standardized message using the generalized drug library data;
- automatically generate a standardized message by transforming the infusion message using the prior version of generalized drug library data;
- and
- send the standardized message to the server.
