DECISION SUPPORT TOOL FOR USE WITH A MEDICAL MONITOR-DEFIBRILLATOR

摘要

Work flows are modeled as a graph of interdependent tasks to be performed. The tasks to be performed are set by a task file module configured to enable interactions between tasks and including modules for event viewing, protocol assistance, smart messaging, smart indices, reference material lookup. A decision support manager module is configured to construct data and model profiles for storage in a data and model profile bank, events for storage in a decision support events bank, and protocols for storage in a decision support protocol bank. Configuration files are provided to specify a configuration for execution of one of the tasks. Data entered through a user interface or from a network via a wireless or wired communication module may define task files in the task files module, configuration files in the configuration files module, as well as data, events, and protocols to be used for a defibrillation procedure. A decision support manager module is configured to construct a dependency graph of tasks as specified in at least one of the configuration files and to execute the dependency graph.

1. For use in a, medical device for providing decision support to a caregiver:
a decision support module comprising:
a task file module configured to define a workflow of one or more interdependent tasks to be performed and to define and enable interactions between the tasks;a configuration file module configured to specify a configuration for execution of the one or more interdependent tasks;a bank configured for storing data, one or more model profiles, events, and/or protocols for the task file;a decision support manager module configured to construct a dependency graph of the work flow of interdependent tasks defined by the task file module using task configurations for each task provided by the configuration files module anda dashboard generator configured to provide an visual, audio, or audio-visual display of the dependency graphs of the dependency graph constructed by the decision support manager module.
