Patient medical parameter acquisition and distribution system
First Claim
1. A distribution system for patient medical parameters, comprising:
- a communication interface for acquiring patient parameters in a first data format from patient monitoring devices attached to a plurality of different patients, said patient parameters being acquired at a user selectable acquisition receiving interval;
a data processor using said communication interface for filtering acquired patient parameters for an individual patient to identify patient parameters meeting predetermined filtering criteria determinable by a user for, (a) an individual parameter type, and (b) an individual patient, and excluding other patient parameters; and
an output processor for converting said filtered identified parameters in said first data format to a different second data format and using said communication interface for output communication of said filtered identified patient parameters together with a parameter time and date of acquisition indication in said second data format.

Abstract
A distribution system for patient medical parameters includes a communication interface, a data processor, and an output processor. The communication interface acquires patient parameters, at a user selectable receiving interval, in a first data format from patient monitoring devices attached to a multiple different patients. The data processor uses the communication interface for filtering acquired patient parameters for an individual patient to identify patient parameters meeting predetermined filtering criteria determinable by a user for an individual parameter type and for an individual patient, and excluding other patient parameters. The output processor converts the filtered identified parameters in the first data format to a different second data format, and uses the communication interface for output communication of the filtered identified patient parameters together with a parameter time and date of acquisition indication in the second data format.
