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.

Core Innovation

A web-based graphical interface/dashboard platform provides medical safety reporting that consolidates multi-source medical device data and medical record data from EMR/EHR systems, including infusion pump data. The platform supports user-role-configurable views and privileges and enables visual monitoring with alerts, drill-down capabilities, and historical reporting in addition to real-time or near-real-time reporting.

The platform models therapy/response dynamics using probabilistic models such as Bayesian decision trees to identify outliers and protocol deviations. It provides decision-support functions that incorporate caregiver, care-area, and location context, and it uses interactive icons, color/status indicators, pop-ups, and filters to present this context alongside device operation.

The disclosed analysis includes identifying device operation outside predetermined limits, including soft versus hard limits and best-practice ranges, with contextual medication and care information. The platform further supports CQI by highlighting device operation outside predetermined limits together with medication, caregiver, care-area, and location context to support continuous quality improvement.

It includes executive scorecards and Pareto analytics such as Top 10 categories and Pareto analysis charts/tables. It also includes rule-set and drug-library optimization functions that reference a drug library optimizer and rule-set optimizer as part of its optimization capabilities.
