MEDICAL MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A medical patient monitoring device for displaying information associated with one or more medical patients, the medical patient monitoring device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive information associated with at least one patient;
a display configured to display the information;
a processor configured to control the information appearing on the display; and
a detector for detecting the physical presence of a clinician token within a detection area in the vicinity of the medical patient monitoring device, the clinician token being indicative of the identity of a clinician,wherein the processor is further configured to take a first predetermined action in response to detection of the clinician token, the first predetermined action being associated with the identity of the clinician.

Abstract
Medical patient monitoring devices that have the capability of detecting the physical proximity of a clinician are disclosed. The medical patient monitoring devices may be configured to perform a selected action when the presence of a clinician is detected. Systems and methods for facilitating communication between medical devices that use different medical communication protocol formats are also disclosed. For example, a medical communication protocol translator can be configured to receive an input message formatted according to a first protocol format from a first medical device and to output an output message formatted according to a second protocol format supported by a second medical device using a set of translation rules. Medical monitoring reporting systems are also disclosed. The medical monitoring reporting systems may be used to analyze a stored collection of physiological parameter data to simulate the effect of changing various medical monitoring options.
