SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR PATIENT ROOM ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN A PATIENT ROOM
First Claim
1. A patient room interface comprising:
- a processor;
a memory in communication with the processor and configured to store processor-executable instructions to;
detect a state event associated with an environmental condition within the patient room; and
communicate, in response to the detected state event, a data packet containing a payload that includes environmental control information related to a first building automation system and a second building automation system;
independently adjust, in response to the environmental control information, a first environmental control parameter related to the first building automation system and a second environmental control parameter related to the second building automation system;
wherein the second environmental control parameter is different than the first environmental control parameter.

Abstract
A patient environmental control system, device and method are disclosed. The exemplary method includes detecting a state event representative of an environmental condition within the patient room, and generating, in response to the state event, a data packet containing a payload and formatted according to a first protocol and where the payload includes environmental control information, communicating the data packet to a field panel such that the field panel is in communication with a first building automation system and a second building automation system, adjusting a first environmental control parameter related to the first building automation system based on the environmental control information contained within the received payload, and adjusting a second environmental control parameter related to the second building automation system based on the environmental control information contained within the received payload such that the second environmental control parameter is different than the first environmental control parameter.
