Abstract
A mobile point-of-care medical station adapted to be employed by patient monitors made by a variety of different manufacturers. A mobile point-of-care medical station includes a patient medical parameter processor and a communication interface. The patient medical parameter processor automatically acquires data, representing medical parameters of a patient, and processes the patient medical parameter data for presentation to a user on a display. The communication interface enables communication with remote systems via a network and communicates patient medical parameter data to a remote system by formatting patient medical parameter data into multiple individual messages. An individual message incorporates a patient identifier and a communication address. The communication address is associated with a particular communication interface of a particular mobile point-of-care medical station, and enables the remote system to identify the particular mobile point-of-care medical station from multiple different mobile point-of-care medical stations.
