Abstract
Medical data obtained from a clinical network of physiological monitors can be stored in a journal database. The medical data can include device events that occurred in response to clinician interactions with one or more medical devices and device-initiated events, such as alarms and the like. The journal database can be analyzed to derive statistics, which may be used to improve clinician and/or hospital performance.
Claims20
A method of providing journaled medical data, the method comprising:
- by one or more processors:
- receiving messages from a plurality of medical devices over a clinical network;
- processing the messages to determine a medical event described by each of the messages, the medical event comprising one or more of the following:
- a first device event occurring in response to a clinician interaction with a selected one of the medical devices, and
- a second device event occurring without clinician interaction with the selected medical device;
- storing information about the one or more medical events in a journal database, the journal database comprising physical computer storage;
- in response to a request for a medical events report, obtaining medical statistics about the medical events stored in the journal database;
- and
- generating a report comprising the medical statistics.
A system for providing journaled medical data, the system comprising:
- a server system comprising one or more physical computing devices, the server system configured to:
- receive messages from a plurality of medical devices over a clinical network, the medical devices comprising patient monitors;
- process the messages to determine a medical event described by each of the messages, the medical event comprising one or more of the following:
- a first device event occurring in response to a clinician interaction with a selected one of the medical devices, and
- a second device event occurring without clinician interaction with the selected medical device;
- store information about the one or more medical events in a journal database, the journal database comprising physical computer storage;
- in response to a request for a medical events report, obtain medical statistics about the medical events stored in the journal database;
- and
- generate a report comprising the medical statistics.
A system for providing journaled medical data, the system comprising:
- a server system comprising one or more physical computing devices, the server system operative to receive a request from a user to review journaled medical data and physiological data corresponding to a period of time, the physiological data being obtained from one or more patient monitors;
- and
- the server system configured to:
- retrieve the journaled medical data for the time period from a journal database, the journal database comprising first physical computer storage, the journaled medical data comprising one or more of:
- first device events occurring in response to clinician interactions with the one or more patient monitors, and
- second device events occurring without clinician interaction with the one or more patient monitors;
- retrieve physiological data for the time period from a database comprising second physical computer storage;
- correlate the journaled medical data with the physiological data with respect to time;
- and
- output the correlated journaled and physiological data as a report for presentation to the user.
