A method including receiving, in a main frame of a patient care unit, an infusion information from a medication delivery module coupled with the main frame is provided. The medication delivery module being mounted on a plug-in port associated with the main frame. The method also includes displaying, on a display in the main frame, an individual channel card including at least a portion of the infusion information from the medication delivery module and orienting an edge of the individual channel card toward a location of the plug-in port relative to the main frame, the edge having a visual indicator that visually indicates an orientation of the module associated with the individual channel card. The method also includes expanding the individual channel card to display a detailed portion of the infusion information upon receipt of a user selection. A system and a non-transitory, computer readable medium including instructions to perform the above method are also provided.

A system and method of managing therapy provided to patients in an institution. The system monitors all aspects of the medication delivery to a patient, as well as other information related to the patient, such as values of vital signs, laboratory results and patient factors such as history, diagnosis, allergies and the like. The system includes one or more databases of information, including institutionally developed rules, guidelines and protocol representing the best medical practices of the institution. The system provides alerts and/or recommendations based on the application of the rules to the information being monitored, and alerts care givers accordingly, providing for dynamic adjustment of the patient's therapy. The system also monitors the status of the alerts, and if no action is taken in a selected period of time, may escalate the priority of the alert and/or halt the delivery of medication to the patient until the alert is resolved.
