Methods and systems for providing medical data to a third party in accordance with configurable distribution parameters
First Claim
1. A method of providing medical data to a third party pursuant to a configurable notification process, the method comprising:
- providing a configurable notification record to define at least one distribution parameter selected from the group consisting of the third party to be provided the medical data, the type of medical data to be provided to the third party, a medium over which an alert based upon the medical data is to be provided to the third party and the conditions under which the alert is to be provided to the third party;
receiving medical data from an ambulatory patient, wherein the medical data is selected from the group consisting of data relating to the physiological or biological status of the patient and data relating to an exogenous material administered to the patient; and
transmitting at least one of medical data, information relating to the medical data and an alert based upon the medical data to the third party located remotely from the patient in accordance with the distribution parameters defined by the configurable notification record.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to supply medical data to a third party in accordance with a number of configurable distribution parameters. A configurable notification record is provided to define at least one distribution parameter that defines the manner in which medical data is distributed. The distribution parameter may be the third party to be provided medical data, the type of medical data to be provided, the medium over which an alert is to be transmitted and the conditions under which the alert is to be provided. In operation, a wireless communications device receives the medical data from a monitor borne by an ambulatory patient and wirelessly transmits at least some of the medical data to a computer network. Based upon the configurable notification record stored by the computer network, the computer network can transmit the medical data and/or an alert to the third party pursuant to the distribution parameters.

20. A system for providing medical data to a third party in accordance with configurable distribution parameters, the system comprising:
-
a wireless communications device for receiving medical data from a monitor borne by an ambulatory patient and for transmitting at least some of the medical data, wherein the medical data is selected from the group consisting of data relating to the physiological or biological status of the patient and data relating to an exogenous material administered to the patient;
a computer network for receiving the medical data transmitted by said wireless communications device, said computer network comprising a memory device for storing a configurable notification record to define at least one distribution parameter selected from the group consisting of the third party to be provided the medical data, the type of medical data to be provided to the third party, a medium over which an alert based upon the medical data is to be provided to the third party and the conditions under which the alert is to be provided to the third party, and wherein said computer network also transmits at least one of the medical data, information related to the medical data and an alert based upon the medical data to the third party located remotely from the patient in accordance with the distribution parameters defined by the configurable notification record. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
