METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING RELATED-PATIENT PARAMETERS PROVIDED BY A MONITORING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for managing, in a computer system, patient-related parameters provided by at least one monitoring device, the method comprising the steps of:
- A) Connecting the computer system to said at least one monitoring device;
B) Capturing, through the connection with the monitoring device, at least one patient-related parameter selected from a set of patient-related parameters provided by the monitoring device;
C) Adapting the captured patient-related parameter to a predetermined parameter format to define a virtual parameter, said virtual parameter being the representation in the system of the captured patient-related parameter, which univocally represents a parameter independently of its device of origin;
D) Managing the virtual parameter.

Abstract
System (15) for managing related-patient parameters provided by at least one monitoring device (11 a, 11 b), the system comprising means for connecting said system to the monitoring device (11 a; 11 b); means for capturing, through the connection with the monitoring device, at least one patient-related parameter selected from a set of patient-related parameters provided by the monitoring device (11 a; 11 b); means for adapting the captured patient-related parameter to a predetermined parameter format; and means for managing the adapted patient-related parameter. The provision of adapting means allows managing data provided by any type of monitoring device.
