Semi-autonomous hot-swap infusion module

A method, comprising:

• receiving, under control of a medication delivery system, an indication that an infusion module became physically coupled, via a connector, to the medication delivery system;
• operating the medication delivery system as a control module for the infusion module when the infusion module is coupled to the medication delivery system via the connector;
• receiving, when and based on the infusion module becoming physically coupled to the medication delivery system, clinical information pertaining to a medication delivery facilitated by the infusion module and received by the infusion module when the infusion module was physically coupled to a different medication delivery system before the infusion module became physically coupled to the medication delivery system, and delivery data obtained by the infusion module after the infusion module was physically decoupled from the different medication delivery system and before the infusion module became physically coupled to the medication delivery system;
• and
• facilitating operation of the infusion module to continue the medication delivery based on the clinical information and the delivery data.

A medication delivery device, comprising:

• an infusion pump;
• and
• a control module configured to:
• receive an indication that an infusion module became physically coupled, via a connector, to the medication delivery device;
• operate the medication delivery device as a controller for the infusion module when the infusion module is coupled to the medication delivery device via the connector;
• receive, when and based on the infusion module becoming physically coupled to the medication delivery device, clinical information pertaining to a medication delivery facilitated by the infusion module and received by the infusion module when the infusion module was physically coupled to a different medication delivery device before the infusion module became physically coupled to the medication delivery device, and delivery data obtained by the infusion module after the infusion module was physically decoupled from the different medication delivery device and before the infusion module became physically coupled to the medication delivery device;
• and
• cause the infusion module to continue the medication delivery based on the clinical information and the delivery data.
