Converting pump messages in new pump protocol to standardized dataset messages

An apparatus configured to convert messages having one message format from infusion pumps residing in a clinical environment into messages having another message format, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories in communication with the one or more processors and storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to:
• detect a first pump protocol used by one or more infusion pumps in the clinical environment, the first pump protocol defining a first message format;
• generate a message converter configured to convert a pump message having the first message format into another message having a second message format different from the first message format and including at least some additional data or metadata not included in the pump message;
• receive a first message from an infusion pump in the clinical environment, wherein the infusion pump is configured to generate messages using the first pump protocol;
• cause the first message to be converted into a second message having the second message format using the message converter, wherein the second message includes information associated with the infusion pump and includes at least some additional data or metadata not included in the first message;
• and
• cause the second message to be transmitted to a remote server configured to receive messages having the second message format.

Non-transitory physical computer storage storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, configure the one or more computing devices to:

• detect a first pump protocol used by one or more infusion pumps in the clinical environment, the first pump protocol defining a first message format;
• generate a message converter configured to convert a pump message having the first message format into another message having a second message format different from the first message format and including at least some additional data or metadata not included in the pump message;
• receive a first message from an infusion pump in the clinical environment, wherein the infusion pump is configured to generate messages using the first pump protocol;
• cause the first message to be converted into a second message having the second message format using the message converter, wherein the second message includes information associated with the infusion pump and includes at least some additional data or metadata not included in the first message;
• and
• cause the second message to be transmitted to a remote server configured to receive messages having the second message format.
