Abstract

Methods, computer systems and computer readable media provide validation of one or more infusions for a patient without requiring barcode scanning. In embodiments, identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions is received based on proximity information. The room is associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions. The clinician is automatically logged into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusion. As a result, the one or more infusions are automatically validated for the patient.

Claims (42)

1. One or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

receiving an identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions, the room associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions, an identifier corresponding to the patient having a first wireless connection between an infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;

establishing a second wireless connection between a clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and an identifier corresponding to the patient;

establishing a third wireless connection between the clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and the infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;

automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, logging the clinician into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusions; and

automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection and without requiring barcode scanning, validating the one or more infusions for the patient, the validating confirming all associations between the patient, the room, the one or more infusions, the infusion pump, and the clinician.

2. The media of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication the clinician has turned on an infusion pump.

3. The media of claim 2 , further comprising communicating the one or more infusions to the infusion pump.

4. The media of claim 1 , further comprising causing the infusion pump to display the available infusions.

5. The media of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a selection of an infusion from the clinician.

6. The media of claim 5 , further comprising causing the infusion pump to display order details for the selected infusion.

7. The media of claim 6 , further comprising receiving, via the infusion pump, additional information entered by the clinician.

8. The media of claim 7 , receiving an indication the infusion pump has started.

9. The media of claim 8 , further comprising communicating infusion data to the EMR.

10. The media of claim 7 , further comprising receiving an indication the clinician has signed the one or more infusions in the EMR.

11. The media of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication the clinician has exited the room.

12. The media of claim 11 , further comprising automatically logging the clinician out of the EMR.

13. The media of claim 1 , further comprising, upon receiving an indication that an infusion of the one or more infusions is not correct for the patient, providing an alert to the clinician device and the infusion pump.

14. The media of claim 1 , further comprising providing drug library matching issues on the infusion pump.

15. The media of claim 14 , further comprising receiving a selection of an infusion of the one or more infusions with different parameters for a particular order.

16. A computer-implemented method in a clinical computing environment comprising:

receiving, via a first computing process, an identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions, the room associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions, an identifier corresponding to the patient having a first wireless connection between an infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;

establishing a second wireless connection between a clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and an identifier corresponding to the patient;

establishing a third wireless connection between the clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and the infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;

automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, logging, via a second computing process, the clinician into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusions;

automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, validating, via a third computing process, the one or more infusions for the patient when the clinician enters the room, the validating confirming all associations between the patient, the room, the one or more infusions, the infusion pump, and the clinician;

receiving, via a fourth computing process, an indication the infusion pump has started; and

communicating, via a fifth computing process, infusion data to the EMR;

wherein each computing process is performed by one or more computing devices.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising, via a sixth computing process:

receiving an indication the clinician has exited the room; and

automatically logging the clinician out of the EMR.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising, upon receiving, via a seventh computing process, an indication that an infusion of the one or more infusions is not correct for the patient, providing an alert to the clinician device and the infusion pump.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein all associations between the patient, the room, the one or more infusions, the infusion pump, and the clinician is by proximity and no scanning is required.

20. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer storage media storing instructions that, when used by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive an identification that a clinician has entered a room with one or more infusions, the room associated with a patient that has orders for the one or more infusions, an identifier corresponding to the patient having a first wireless connection between an infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;

establishing a second wireless connection between a clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and an identifier corresponding to the patient;

establishing a third wireless connection between the clinical user device corresponding to the clinician and the infusion device corresponding to the one or more infusions;

automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection, log the clinician into an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, including context based on the clinician entering the room with the one or more infusions;

automatically, based on the first wireless connection, the second wireless connection, and the third wireless connection and without requiring barcode scanning, validate the one or more infusions for the patient when the clinician enters the room by confirming all associations between the patient, the room, the one or more infusions, the infusion pump, and the clinician.
