Abstract

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A module for acquiring and processing dose event and response event digital data, the module comprising:
one or more machine vision digital cameras for automatically acquiring dose event data including medication delivery data;
one or more physiological monitors for automatically acquiring response monitors for automatically acquiring response event data; and
processing circuitry and software in electrical communication with one or more machine vision digital cameras and the one or more physiological monitors, the processing circuitry and software configured to:
receive the dose from the one or more machine vision digital cameras;
receive the response event data from the one or more physiological monitors;
automatically add timestamps to the dose event data and to the response event data;
temporally correlate the dose event data with corresponding response event data;
identify, using artificial intelligence (AI) analytics of the processing circuitry and software, an expected physiologic response or an unexpected physiologic response of a patient based on the temporally correlated dose event data and response event data; and
provide alternative medication suggestions when the unexpected physiologic response is identified based on one or more of a patient's medical history, medication orders, vital signs, or current medications.

2. The module of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry and software include memories and databases configured to do one or more of: receive physiological data, analyze physiological data, determine that physiological data is unexpected, create and send instructions to cause an alert to a provider or another user, and save a physiological event information to a storage device which may be a database.

3. The module of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the dose event data and the response event data are displayed on one or more display screens.

4. The module of claim 1 , wherein the dose event data and the response event data for the unexpected physiologic response are configured to be displayed on one or more remote display screens to be used for one or more of remote supervision, remote consultation, remote monitoring or remote billing documentation.

5. The module of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to receive additional dose event data and additional response event data from electronic medical equipment in electrical communication with the processing circuitry of the module, wherein the additional dose event data and additional response event data relates to one or more of: physiologic monitors, fluid, gas and medication administration, ventilator settings, pressure off-loading, blood loss, urine output, and anesthesia related events.

6. A system for acquiring and processing dose event and response event digital data, the system comprising:
one or more machine vision digital cameras for acquiring dose event data based on one or more medication delivery event;
one or more physiologic monitors for acquiring response event data based on one or more response event; and
processing circuitry and software in electrical communication with the one or more machine vision digital cameras and the one or more physiologic monitors;
wherein the processing circuitry and software is configured to automatically add one or more timestamps to the dose event data and the response event data;
wherein the processing circuitry and software is configured to temporally correlate the dose event data with the response event data based on the one or more timestamps;
wherein the processing circuitry and software includes artificial intelligence (AI) configured to identify one or more expected physiologic response and one or more unexpected physiologic response for the one or more dose event;
wherein the processing circuitry and software is configured to provide alternative medication suggestions when the one or more expected physiologic response and one or more unexpected physiologic response is identified based on one or more of a patient's medical history, medication orders, vital signs, and current medications.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry and software includes memory and one or more database in communication with the processing circuitry and software and configured to do one or more of: receive physiological data, analyze physiological data, determine that physiological data is unexpected, create and send instructions to cause an alert to a provider or another user, and save a physiological event information to a storage device.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein data representing the one or more dose event and the one or more response event are configured to be displayed on one or more display screens.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein data representing the one or more dose event and the one or more unexpected response event are configured to be displayed on one or more remote display screens for one or more of remote supervision, remote consultation, remote monitoring, and remote billing documentation.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to receive additional dose event and additional response event data from electronic medical equipment in electrical communication with the processing circuitry and software, wherein the additional dose event and additional response event data relates to one or more of: physiologic monitors, fluid, gas and medication administration, ventilator settings, pressure off-loading, blood loss, urine output, anesthesia related events, and airway management.
