Management of care area transitions of intravenous infusions

A computer program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

• transitioning an infusion device providing an in-progress infusion of at least one of a drug or a fluid consistent with one or more parameters of a first care area in a hospital to a second care area of the hospital;
• comparing details of the in-progress infusion against one or more second parameters defined for the second care area;
• making a compatibility determination between the in-progress infusion and the one or more second parameters defined for the seconds care area;
• selecting a handling mode of the in-progress infusion in the second care area based on the compatibility determination;
• and
• resolving the in-progress infusion consistent with the selected handling mode.
