Abstract

This disclosure describes systems and methods for a graphical interface including a graphical representation of medical data. The graphical interface platform may receive medical data and provide medical safety reporting capabilities including reporting of history data and real-time visual monitoring data. The graphical interface platform may be configured to identify potential problems and corrections to medical devices in operation while a reporting cycle is underway through visual representation of performance metrics.

Claims (38)

1. A method of displaying information from a plurality of infusion pump systems on a display, the method comprising:

generating a first user interface, the first user interface comprising:

a plurality of columns corresponding to a plurality of specific areas in a hospital, each column corresponding to a different specific area in the hospital,

wherein each of the plurality of columns comprises:

a plurality of horizontal sections comprising a first horizontal section graphically representing a first infusion pump system located in the specific area associated with a respective column, the first infusion pump system comprising one or more channels each configured to provide a fluid,

wherein the first horizontal section comprises:

a first icon corresponding to a status of the first infusion pump system; and

for each channel of the one or more channels of the first infusion pump system:

 a channel icon corresponding to a channel of the first infusion pump system; and

 a channel indicator corresponding to a status of the channel providing a respective fluid of the first infusion pump system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the channel indicator is positioned over the channel icon.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the channel indicator comprises a status symbol corresponding to the status of the channel.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the status symbol comprises a first symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is running, a second symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is stopped, a third symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is on standby or delayed start, a fourth symbol indicating the first infusion pump system has completed infusion, or a fifth symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is offline or not connected.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the status symbol comprises a first symbol indicating that no drug library is present or in use, a second symbol indicating an operator has overridden an upper soft limit, a third symbol indicating the operator has overridden a lower soft limit, a fourth symbol indicating low concern or priority alarms, a fifth symbol indicating high concern or priority alarms, or a sixth symbol indicating general information is available.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the status symbol comprises a first symbol indicating a battery level, a second symbol indicating a battery is charging, a third symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is operating on A/C.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the status symbol corresponds to a type of the first infusion pump system.

8. The method of claim 3 , further comprising a symbol corresponds to a status or presence of a physiological monitor or meter.

9. The method of claim 3 , further comprising an icon indicating a number of additional containers available for use.

10. The method of claim 3 , further comprising a pop-up screen containing information related to a channel of the one or more channels of the first infusion pump system including a wired network, a wireless network, a medication order, a type of medication in the channel, or patient information.

11. A system configured to display information associated with a plurality of infusion pump systems, the system comprising one or more hardware processors configured to:

generate a first graphical interface comprising a plurality of columns corresponding to a plurality of specific areas in a hospital, each column of the plurality of columns corresponding to a different specific area in the hospital;

wherein each of the plurality of columns comprises:

a plurality of horizontal sections comprising a first horizontal section graphically representing a first infusion pump system located in the specific area associated with a respective column,

wherein the first horizontal section comprises:

a first icon corresponding to a status of the first infusion pump system; and

wherein for each channel of the first infusion pump system:

a channel icon corresponding to a channel of the first infusion system; and

a channel indicator corresponding to a status of the channel providing a respective fluid of the first infusion pump system; and

providing the first graphical interface on the computer display.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the channel indicator is positioned over the channel icon.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the channel indicator comprises a status symbol.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the status symbol comprises a first symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is running, a second symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is stopped, a third symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is on standby or delayed start, a fourth symbol indicating the first infusion pump system has completed infusion, or a fifth symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is offline or not connected.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the status symbol comprises a first symbol indicating that no drug library is present or in use, a second symbol indicating an operator has overridden an upper soft limit, a third symbol indicating the operator has overridden a lower soft limit, a fourth symbol indicating low concern or priority alarms, a fifth symbol indicating high concern or priority alarms, or a sixth symbol indicating general information is available.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the status symbol comprises a first symbol indicating a battery level, a second symbol indicating a battery is charging, a third symbol indicating the first infusion pump system is operating on A/C.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first icon corresponds to a type of infusion pump system.

18. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a second icon corresponding to a status or presence of a physiological monitor or meter.

19. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a second icon indicating a number of additional containers are available for use.

20. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a pop-up screen containing information related to a channel of the one or more channels of the first infusion pump system including a wired network, a wireless network, a medication order, a type of medication in the channel, or patient information.
