Abstract
A method, system and computer-readable medium are provided for determining compliance with one or more patient care rules and protocols, the method including the steps of sending infusion information from a pump to a processor pertaining to one or more drugs provided to a patient, sending ventilation information from a ventilator to the processor pertaining to ventilation provided to the patient and determining, with the processor, a variation between actual care of the patient and a set of rules and protocols associated with care of the patient at least in part based on the infusion information and the ventilation information.
Claims22
A method of determining compliance with one or more patient care rules and protocols, the method including the steps of:
- sending infusion information from a pump to a processor pertaining to one or more drugs provided to a patient;
- sending ventilation information from a ventilator to the processor pertaining to ventilation provided to the patient;
- and
- determining, with the processor, a variation between actual care of the patient and a set of rules and protocols associated with care of the patient at least in part based on the infusion information and the ventilation information.
A system for determining compliance with one or more patient care protocols, comprising:
- an infusion pump providing infusion information pertaining to one or more drugs provided to a patient;
- a ventilator providing ventilation information pertaining to ventilation provided to the patient;
- and
- a processor communicably coupled to the infusion pump and the ventilator and configured to determine a variation between actual care of the patient and a set of rules and protocols associated with care of the patient at least in part based on the infusion information and the ventilation information.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor to perform a method of determining compliance with one or more patient care protocols, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving infusion information pertaining to one or more drugs provided to a patient, the one or more drugs including sedatives and pain therapy drugs;
- receiving ventilation information pertaining to ventilation provided to the patient;
- and
- providing one or more analytics for display at a client device, the one or more analytics generated at least in part based on the infusion information and the ventilation information, where the one or more analytics provide indications of variation between actual care of the patient and a set of rules and protocols associated with care of the patient.
