Med Device Sandbox

The EHR tells you what happened. The devices tell you what is happening now.

This section is the device half of the problem: getting data out of the bedside device into something that can reason over it, and getting an order into the pump with its safety limits on. Synthetic data and simulated devices only.

Medical Device Sandbox

A public endpoint that accepts infusion pump and ventilator data, computes a five-minute interval summary, and runs it through the reasoning engine against a synthetic chart.

Five Minutes and a Reason

Why a five-minute summary of device data, and what a reasoning engine can do with it that an alarm cannot.

Close the Loop

Reconcile CPOE order sentences against the formulary and the pump drug library, care area by care area: does the order reach the pump with dose limits on?

Order to Pump

The exact HL7 v2.6 messages that carry one order to an infusion pump gateway and the pump's answer back: PIV PCD-03, the acknowledgment, DEC and IPEC.
