The configuration output generator apparatus generates a first portion of a configuration output from the therapy order. The first portion of the configuration output includes plain text values specifying a configuration protocol for preforming the therapy. The configuration output generator apparatus also generates, using an algorithm and the first portion of the configuration output, a second portion of the configuration output that comprises an alphanumeric code. The configuration output generator apparatus then outputs the first portion of the configuration output and second portion of the configuration output for entry into the patient care device.
