1. A medical error reduction system comprising:
a medical error reduction software configured to:
create and revise at least one drug library, and provide one of a plurality of sets of privileges to each of a plurality of sets of users, each of the plurality of sets of privileges arranged to allocate a degree of software functionality to one of the plurality of sets of users, the degree of software functionality configured to define the ability of a user to alter the at least one drug library;
at least one server;
at least one editor computer, each of the at least one editor computer comprising a processor in communication with a display, the at least one editor computer and the at least one server are configured to communicate via a network in a client-server based model; and
a biomed personal computer (“PC”) tool in operative communication with the at least one server,
wherein:
each of the at least one drug library configured to be in at least one medical device,
the at least one editor computer comprising a user interface on the display configured to access the medical error reduction software to edit an initial drug library of the at least one drug library to create an edited drug library, the at least one editor computer configured to access and display via the display the edited drug library and the initial drug library of the at least one drug library, and the at least one editor computer is configured to provide a review simulator configured to simulate a graphical user interface of a medical device of the at least one medical device using the edited drug library, the edited drug library not in the medical device of the at least one medical device, each of which is accessible via tab selections within the user interface,
the at least one editor computer is configured to notify at least one affected user of the edited drug library via an automatically generated email,
the review simulator is configured to simulate a plurality of medical device types in a plurality of care areas using the edited drug library,
the at least one server is configured to indicate to the biomed PC tool that the edited drug library is available for loading into a plurality of medical devices only after simulation by the review simulator,
the biomed PC tool downloads the edited drug library over a network,
the biomed PC tool is configured to communicate the edited drug library over a bus to the plurality of medical devices,
each of the plurality of medical devices validates the edited drug library,
each of the plurality of medical devices installs the edited drug library therewithin,
each of the plurality of medical devices communicates a confirmation to the biomed PC tool confirming over the bus that the edited drug library was installed on the plurality of medical devices, and
the biomed PC tool communicates over the network the confirmation that the edited drug library was installed on the plurality of medical devices to the at least one server.
