Abstract

A system for controlling the administration of a drug to a patient comprises at least one medical device (11, 12, 12′) for administering a drug to a patient, a distribution server (14), and a drug library database (15) comprising drug library data (150), the medical device (11, 12, 12′) being programmable, according to drug library data (150) of the drug library database (15), by entering configuration data (151) into the medical device (11, 12, 12′) for performing an administration operation for administering a drug to a patient. Herein, the system is operative to record said configuration data (151) and to report said configuration data (151) to the distribution server (14), wherein the distribution server (14) is constituted to pass said configuration data (151) to an expert system (16) comprising a knowledge database (160) for storing said configuration data, the expert system (16) being constituted to evaluate the knowledge database (160) for modifying said drug library database (15) according to said evaluation. In this way a system for administering a drug to a patient is provided which allows to adapt a drug library according to the actual use of medical devices, in particular according to configuration data entered into medical devices for programming the medical devices.
