Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for displaying on a user display device alarm-triggering events detected by the medical device based on the location of the user display device. The method comprises receiving alarm-triggering patient data from a medical device and determining the physical location of first and second user display devices. The method further comprises determining that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have an alarm displayed, and that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have an alarm displayed. In response to these determinations, the content of the alarm is displayed on the first user display device.

Claims

1. Computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, cause a computing device to perform a method of displaying on a user display device alarm-triggering events detected by the medical device based on a location of the user display device, the method comprising:

receiving from a medical device patient data which triggers an alarm;

determining a physical location of first and second user display devices, wherein the physical location of the first and second user display devices is independent from the users logged onto the first and second user display devices;

determining that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have the alarm displayed;

determining that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alarm displayed; and

in response to the determinations, displaying the content of the alarm on the first user display device and not the second user display device.

2. The media of claim 1, wherein the patient is a maternity patient and the medical device patient data is for the maternity patient and her unborn baby.

3. The media of claim 2, wherein the first user display device is located at a nurse manager'"'"'s station and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

4. The media of claim 2, wherein the first user display device is located in a patient'"'"'s room and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

5. A computerized method carried out by a computing device having one or more processors for displaying on a user display device alarm-triggering events detected by the medical device based on a location of the user display device, the method comprising:

receiving from a medical device patient data which triggers an alarm;

determining a physical location of first and second user display devices, wherein the physical location of the first and second user display devices is independent from the users logged onto the first and second user display devices;

determining, using the one or more processors, that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have the alarm displayed;

determining that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alarm displayed; and

in response to the determinations, displaying the content of the alarm on the first user display device and not the second user display device.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the patient is a maternity patient and the medical device patient data is for the maternity patient and her unborn baby.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the first user display device is located at a nurse manager'"'"'s station and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the first user display device is located in a patient'"'"'s room and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

9. A system for displaying on a user display device alarm-triggering events detected by the medical device based on a location of the user display device, the system comprising:

a computing device having one or more processors and one or more computer-storage media; and

a data store coupled with the computing device,

wherein the computing device;

receives from a medical device patient data which triggers an alarm;

determines a physical location of first and second user display devices, wherein the physical location of the first and second user display devices is independent from the users logged onto the first and second user display devices;

determines that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have the alarm displayed;

determines that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alarm displayed; and

in response to the determinations, displays the content of the alarm on the first user display device and not the second user display device.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the patient is a maternity patient and the medical device patient data is for the maternity patient and her unborn baby.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the first user display device is located at a nurse manager'"'"'s station and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first user display device is located in a patient'"'"'s room and the second user display device is located in an operating room.
