Abstract
A computerized system for providing a maximum concentration of an additive in a solution. The system receives information identifying one or more additives for use in an admixture and generates a message providing a maximum concentration for such additives in the admixture. The system may be used to ensure that additives in prescribed admixtures do not exceed the maximum concentration level.
Claims35
A maximum concentration identifying system for use with a pharmacy system or healthcare facility system comprising
- a computer configured to generate information relating to a first additive for use in an IV medication for a patient's therapy;
- the computer configured to generate information relating to a first diluent for use with the first additive;
- and,
- the computer configured to generate a maximum concentration level of the first additive in the first diluent.
A method of providing a maximum concentration level for an additive in an admixture for use in a patient's therapy comprising the steps of:
- providing a computer for accessing a database containing data associated with a plurality of additives for use in a patient's therapy;
- receiving information by the computer selecting a first additive for use in an admixture from the plurality of additives;
- receiving information by the computer selecting a first diluent for use with the additive;
- and,
- generating output by the computer providing a maximum concentration level for the first additive in the admixture.
A computer program product for providing a maximum concentration level of an additive in a diluent, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the program code including
- a first portion for allowing a user to select a first additive for an admixture;
- a second portion for allowing the user to select a first diluent for the admixture;
- and,
- a third portion for generating a maximum concentration level for the additive in the admixture.
A system for ensuring an additive to an admixture does not exceed a maximum concentration level for use in a pharmacy or healthcare facility system comprising:
- a computer configured to receive a prescription order for an admixture having a first additive and a first diluent;
- the computer configured to calculate the concentration of the ordered first additive in the first diluent;
- the computer configured to compare the calculated concentration of the ordered first additive in the first diluent with a maximum concentration level;
- and,
- the computer configured to generate a warning message if the calculated concentration for the first additive in the first diluent exceeds a maximum concentration level.
A method for ensuring an additive in an admixture does not exceed a maximum concentration level comprising the steps of:
- receiving information by a computer identifying a first additive and a first diluent for a prescription order for an admixture for a patient's therapy;
- calculating by the computer the concentration of the ordered first additive in the admixture;
- and,
- generating a message by the computer if the calculated concentration exceeds a maximum concentration level.
A computer program product for ensuring an additive to an admixture does not exceed a maximum concentration level, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the program code including
- a first portion for receiving a prescription order identifying a first additive and a first diluent for an admixture for use in a patient's therapy;
- a second portion for calculating the concentration of the first additive in the admixture as ordered;
- and,
- a third portion for generating a message if the calculated concentration of the first additive in the admixture exceeds a maximum concentration level.
