Medical information access and processing system
First Claim
1. A medical information access and processing system, comprising:
- a plurality of different wireless tag reader devices;
a plurality of interfaces for receiving tag information, derived from reading a plurality of corresponding identification tags, from said tag reader devices;
at least one repository of map information for associating tag information received from reader devices with reader device specific actions to be performed by a medical information access and processing system; and
a data processor for using said map information to associate tag information received from a specific reader device via an interface with a corresponding action to be performed by a medical information access and processing system and for automatically initiating performance of said corresponding action by said medical information access and processing system, said at least one repository of map information and said data processor comprise an adaptation layer for adaptively automatically initiating performance of a corresponding action by a particular application in response to tag information received from a specific reader device.

Abstract
A medical information access and processing system includes a plurality of different wireless tag reader devices and a plurality of interfaces for receiving tag information, derived from reading a plurality of corresponding identification tags, from the tag reader devices. At least one repository of map information associates tag information received from the reader devices with reader device specific actions to be performed by a medical information access and processing system. A data processor uses the map information to associate tag information received from a specific reader device via an interface with a corresponding action to be performed by the medical information access and processing system and automatically initiates performance of the corresponding action by the medical information access and processing system.
