Use Case 18 Care Theme: HIT Innovations Use Case Medical Device Integration – Completing the Last Mile • Primary Goal:To show research that enables seamless standards-based connectivity starting from a patient’s medical device interface to the electronic medical record (EMR) and to clinicians (device alarms) – completing the last mile of end-to-end medical device integration – potentially unleashing clinical innovation and lowering overall costs. • Key Points: • Standards-based capabilities can be integrated directly into the medical device – the “last mile of connectivity.” • An infusion-pump reference design is used to show information flow using current and emerging standards • Simulated Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) infusion Pump data shall be communicated to an EMR, ensuring full semantic consistency and correct communication of alarms to clinicians. • Device platforms, software and tools that greatly facilitate system implementation and deployment are becoming available. • Tools support interoperable device development, integration and validation of standards conformance. • Research on standards-enabled technology is becoming available to provide solutions that remove the need to deploy proprietary medical device interoperability solutions.
