Abstract
A scanning error reduction system and method for preventing scanning errors associated with configuring an infusion device is disclosed. A first scancode is rendered on a first display of the first infusion module of the infusion device. Responsive to determining that the indicated therapy is to be provided by a second infusion module coupled to the device, the rendered first scancode is automatically removed from the first display of the first infusion module and, simultaneously, a second scancode associated with the second infusion module is automatically displayed on a second display of the second infusion module, and a user is prompted to scan the second scancode.
Claims20
A patient care unit, comprising:
- a plurality of infusion modules comprising a first infusion module and a second infusion module, each infusion module comprising an infusion pump configured to pump a fluid according to a respective therapy associated with a patient;
- wherein the patient care unit is configured to:
- render, on a first display of the first infusion module, a first scancode associated with the first infusion module;
- receive, by the patient care unit, an indication of a therapy to be provided;
- determine that the indicated therapy is to be provided by the second infusion module;
- responsive to determining that the indicated therapy is to be provided by the second infusion module:
- remove the rendered first scancode from the first display of the first infusion module;
- and
- prompt a user to scan a second scancode associated with the second infusion module, on a second display of the second infusion module.
A machine-implemented method for preventing scanning errors associated with configuring an infusion device, comprising:
- rendering, on a first display of a first infusion module, a first scancode associated with the first infusion module;
- receiving, by a patient care unit coupled to the first infusion module, an indication of a therapy to be provided;
- determining that the indicated therapy is to be provided by a second infusion module;
- responsive to determining that the indicated therapy is to be provided by the second infusion module coupled to the patient care unit:
- removing the rendered first scancode from the first display of the first infusion module;
- and
- prompting a user to scan a second scancode associated with the second infusion module, on a second display of the second infusion module.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by a patient care unit, cause the patient care unit to perform operations comprising:
- rendering, on a first display of a first infusion module coupled to the patient care unit, a first scancode associated with the first infusion module;
- receiving, by the patient care unit, an indication of a therapy to be provided;
- determining that the indicated therapy is to be provided by a second infusion module;
- responsive to determining that the indicated therapy is to be provided by the second infusion module coupled to the patient care unit:
- removing the rendered first scancode from the first display of the first infusion module;
- and
- prompting a user to scan a second scancode associated with the second infusion module, on a second display of the second infusion module.
