1. A method of determining compatibility between a medical prescription and a medical device, the method comprising:
receiving, using a computer processor, patient data comprising prescription parameters, the prescription parameters comprising treatment parameters for use in conducting a medical procedure according to the medical prescription on a patient using the medical device;
determining operational parameters of the medical device, wherein determining the operational parameters comprises accessing, using the computer processor, a database containing a plurality of sets of operational parameters respectively associated with a plurality of medical devices, the plurality of sets of operational parameters including the operational parameters of the medical device;
performing a compatibility check, using the computer processor, by comparing values of the prescription parameters of the medical prescription to ranges determined by the operational parameters of the medical device;
generating, using the computer processor based on the compatibility check, a prescription compatibility response indicating if the prescription parameters of the medical prescription are able to be executed by the medical device in order to conduct the medical procedure; and
based on the compatibility check:
causing the medical device to perform a medical treatment based on the prescription parameters, or
denying an authorization to transmit the prescription parameters to the medical device.
