Abstract
Medical communication systems and related methods are provided for facilitating the sending of medical treatment related communications to users of various user communication devices, such as wireless devices, over one or more networks. Medical devices providing patient care may be in communication with the system, and transmit operational data thereto. Errors detected in individual medical devices may be operative to transmit notifications to manufacturers. Users of such a communication device may securely log on to a host computer system and access information through the communication device or otherwise. Such information is accessible to all affected entities involved in the administration of healthcare. By utilizing various embodiments of the systems and methods, medical professionals and/or other users can receive timely updates of medical data related to a particular patient independent of location or time of day.
