System and method for dynamically adjusting patient therapy

A system for managing a therapy to be provided to a patient, comprising:

• a memory comprising a database capable of storing and accepting a patient specific data and a configurable database for institutionally determined rules that define dosing parameters as a function of the patient specific data;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute commands stored in the memory, causing the system to:
• select a first dosing regimen for a drug, medication or fluid based on the therapy and a first set of the patient specific data;
• accept a second set of patient specific data;
• compare the second set of patient specific data with the institutionally determined rules;
• and
• when the first dosing regimen violates an institutionally determined rule based on the second set of patient specific data, to automatically adjust, or direct the adjustment of, the delivery of the drug, medication or fluid to bring delivery of said drug, medication or fluid within the institutionally determined rules, and to provide an alert;
• and further causing the system to:
• increase a priority of the alert when a status of the alert has not changed for a selected period of time.
