Abstract
A injection site information cap includes a housing, a cover portion, an engagement portion configured to couple to and cover an injection port of an injection site, and at least one information element on the cover portion that is positioned to be automatically sensed by at least one sensor of the injection site when the engagement portion is coupled to or is being coupled to the medication injection port. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.
Claims15
A cap comprising:
- an engagement portion configured to removably couple to and cover an injection port of an injection site;
- at least one information element on the cap positioned to be automatically sensed by at least one sensor when the engagement portion is coupled to or is being coupled to the injection port;
- and
- a disinfectant to disinfect the injection port upon the coupling of the engagement portion with the injection port, wherein the at least one information element encapsulates data characterizing a disinfection state of the injection port, data characterizing a caregiver identification, and data characterizing a procedural step performed in connection with care of a patient, the procedural step comprising an IV site visual assessment.
1 more element
A method for implementation by one or more data processors comprising:
- receiving, by at least one data processor, information from a sensor characterizing at least one information element on a removable cap covering an injection port of an injection site, wherein the removable cap includes a disinfectant to disinfect the injection port upon the covering of the injection port with the cap, and wherein the at least one information element encapsulates data characterizing a disinfection state of the injection port, data characterizing a caregiver identification, and data characterizing a procedural step performed in connection with care of the patient, the procedural step comprising an IV site visual assessment;
- associating, by the at least one data processor, the received information with data comprising:
- the disinfection state of the injection port;
- and
- promoting the associated data by displaying, time stamping, and recording the disinfection state of the injection port, the caregiver identification, and the procedural step comprising the IV site visual assessment.
