Abstract
An infusion system automatically determines when an infusion device moved within a physical area associated with a patient, and automatically displays an electronic list of procedures or prescriptions associated with the patient based on determining the infusion device moved within the physical area associated with the patient and receiving the indication of the operation. When a selection is received from the electronic list, operating parameters associated with the selection and the patient are automatically downloaded from a remote computing device to the infusion device.
Claims20
An infusion device configured to:
- automatically determine that the infusion device moved within a physical area associated with a patient, without receiving an input at the infusion device identifying the patient, based on a detection by one or more receiving devices associated with the infusion device of one or more wireless transmitter signals associated with the patient;
- without first identifying the patient to the infusion device,
- receive an indication of an operation initiated at the infusion device, and
- automatically display on a display screen associated with the infusion device, based on determining the infusion device moved within the physical area associated with the patient and receiving the indication of the operation, an indication of the patient and an electronic list of procedures or prescriptions associated with the patient;
- receive, at the infusion device, a selection from the electronic list;
- and
- automatically download, based on the selection, from a remote computing device to the infusion device, operating parameters associated with the selection and the patient.
A computer-implemented method comprising, under control of one or more electronic devices:
- automatically determining that an infusion device moved within a physical area associated with a patient, without receiving an input at the infusion device identifying the patient, based on a detection by one or more receiving devices associated with the infusion device of one or more wireless transmitter signals associated with the patient;
- without first identifying the patient to the infusion device,
- receiving an indication of an operation initiated at the infusion device, and
- automatically displaying on a display screen associated with the infusion device, based on determining the infusion device moved within the physical area associated with the patient and receiving the indication of the operation, an indication of the patient and an electronic list of procedures or prescriptions associated with the patient;
- receiving, at the infusion device, a selection from the electronic list;
- and
- automatically downloading, based on the selection, from a remote computing device to the infusion device, operating parameters associated with the selection and the patient.
A non-transitory machine-readable memory device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause one or more electronic devices to perform operations comprising:
- automatically determining that an infusion device moved within a physical area associated with a patient, without receiving an input at the infusion device identifying the patient, based on a detection by one or more receiving devices associated with the infusion device of one or more wireless transmitter signals associated with the patient;
- without first identifying the patient to the infusion device,
- receiving an indication of an operation initiated at the infusion device, and
- automatically displaying on a display screen associated with the infusion device, based on determining the infusion device moved within the physical area associated with the patient and receiving the indication of the operation, an indication of the patient and an electronic list of procedures or prescriptions associated with the patient;
- receiving, at the infusion device, a selection from the electronic list;
- and
- automatically downloading, based on the selection, from a remote computing device to the infusion device, operating parameters associated with the selection and the patient.
