Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present disclosure relates to medical devices for collecting physiological data from patients.

[0023] figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example system 100 for a medical device.

[0024] In this example, medical devices 102, 104, 105 are used to collect physiological data from a patient. These medical devices may be located in facilities such as hospitals or clinics. In one example, devices 102, 104, 105 are located at the same facility. In another example, the devices are located at different facilities that are geographically dispersed.

[0025] The medical devices 102 , 104 , 105 communicate with a network 108 . In one example, the medical devices 102, 104, 105 and network 108 are part of the CONNEX™ system from Welch Allyn of Skane Atler Falls, New York, although other systems may be used. In such an example, the medical devices communicate via a known protocol such as the Welch Allyn Communication Protocol (WACP). WACP uses a taxonomy as a mech...

Abstract

A method for providing an early warning system for a patient includes: allowing a caregiver to select among a plurality of early warning score protocols; allowing the caregiver to modify the selected early warning score protocol; automatically calculating an early warning score for the patient; and displaying the early warning score for the caregiver. A medical device includes at least one health care equipment module configured to measure a physiological parameter of a patient. The medical device is configured to allow the caregiver to select among a plurality of early warning score protocols. The early warning score protocols may be targeted to specific patients based on demographic information. The medical device also allows the caregiver to modify the selected early warning score protocol. The medical device also automatically calculates an early warning score for the patient using a physiological parameter captured by the at least one health care equipment module.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application was filed May 20, 2015, and claims U.S. Serial No. 62 / 007,302, filed June 3, 2014, entitled "CUSTOM EARLY WARNING SCORING FOR MEDICAL DEVICE" and U.S. Serial No. 14 / 528,487, filed October 30, 2014, entitled "CUSTOM EARLY WARNING SCORING FOR MEDICALDEVICE," the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its The whole is incorporated. Background technique [0003] Research studies show that 80% of patients typically exhibit at least one mental warning sign up to 24 hours before their condition worsens. A survey study in Australia that performed a retrospective chart analysis reported similar results. The study reported that 77% of patients transferred from the medical / surgical floor to the ICU had at least one vital sign measure outside the normal range presented on their chart within 8 hours of their admission. Furthermore, the study reported that these indicators were not noticed for a...
