摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and system for suspending the processing of laboratory test results in a computerized environment. One or more test results from an instrument in a healthcare laboratory are received. It is determined whether the instrument has had a quality control procedure performed within a predefined period. If not, the processing of the one or more test results is suspended until the quality control procedure has been performed on the instrument. If the quality control procedure has been performed within the predefined period, it is determined whether the quality control procedure performed indicates that the instrument is performing properly. If not, the processing of the one or more test results is suspended until the quality control issue is resolved.

The present invention relates to a system and method for safely transfusing blood to a patient in a computerized healthcare environment is provided. A blood product to be administered to a patient is identified and the patient is identified. A database containing a plurality of blood compatibility test results is accessed and it is determined whether the database contains a blood compatibility test result for the identified blood product and identified patient. If so, it is determined whether the test result indicates that the identified blood product is compatible for the identified patient.

The present invention relates to a method for automatically tracking blood product administration in a computerized healthcare environment. Information regarding a blood product unit received by the blood bank department is documented in a database. An indication that the blood product unit has been administered to the patient by a healthcare provider is received and the database is automatically updated to reflect that the blood product unit has been administered to the patient. The present invention also relates to a method for automatically notifying a blood bank database of administration of a blood product to a patient in a computerized healthcare environment is provided

A computerized system and method for processing patient vital signs during blood product administration in a computerized healthcare environment is provided. A blood product to be administered to a patient is identified. The patient is identified. Vital signs for the patient are received during blood product administration by a healthcare provider and automatically, without user intervention, the vital signs for the patient are documented in a database.

The present invention relates to a method of holding laboratory test results in a computerized environment. The method receives a laboratory test result for a healthcare order for a patient. The healthcare order comprises multiple laboratory tests. The method determines whether all of the test results for the healthcare order have been received. If all of the test results for the healthcare order have not been received, the laboratory test result is held until all of the results for the healthcare order have been received. If all of the results for the healthcare order have been received, the method compares each test result of the healthcare order to predefined criteria to determine whether each test result for the healthcare order is within a predetermined acceptable range. If each of the test results for the healthcare order is within the acceptable range, the entire order is automatically verified.

The invention relates to a method and device for testing a blood product and a patient's blood immediately prior to transfusing the blood product to the patient. The device comprises a testing chamber within which the blood product and the patient blood are drawn and tested for compatibility. A first end of the testing chamber is coupled with an infusion needle in communication with the patient. A second end of the testing chamber is in fluid communication with the container housing the blood product. In an embodiment, blood product and patient blood are drawn into the testing chamber. One of a number of tests for determining blood compatibility is performed in the testing chamber. If the blood product and patient blood are compatible, blood product is delivered to the patient through a transfusion line bypassing the testing chamber.
摘要:
Invoking of one or more clinical orders for a particular patient is driven by an infection risk stratification. According to an associated method, infection risk factors for a patient are assessed. The method also includes determining correlations between patient data and two or more particular categories of infection risk associated with the infection risk factors, stratifying infection risk for the patient based on the correlations determined, and determining specific clinical orders relevant for the particular patient based on the stratification.
