Selectively routing patient data between field devices and treatment center destinations
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, event data for a patient from a field device used to at least one of monitor or treat the patient during an event, the server storing a plurality of destination profiles associated with respective destinations, the destinations associated with patient treatment centers, at least some of the destination profiles including respective event data filtering rules;
analyzing the event data;
applying the event data filtering rules by processing the analyzed event data from the server against the plurality of destination profiles associated with the respective destinations associated with the patient treatment centers;
selecting a subset of the destinations based on the event data filtering rules;
routing the event data from the server to the selected subset of the destinations; and
determining a destination for the patient treatment center based on a match between the event data and the destination profiles.

Abstract
Techniques for routing event data from a field device, such as an external defibrillator, to a selected subset of a plurality of possible destinations are described. The event data may include physiological data of the patient, such as a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The destinations may be associated with one of a plurality of patient treatment centers, and may include, as examples, computing device, printers, displays, personal digital assistants, or web-accessible accounts. In some examples, a server maintains user-configurable information or rules for at least some of the destinations, and uses the information or rules for determining whether event data received from a field device is routed to the destination. In some examples, the server may also make the routing determination based on an analysis of event data, such as a determination as to whether the event data indicates that the patient is suspected to be experiencing an acute myocardial infarction.

29. A network server comprising:
-
a memory that stores a plurality of destination profiles, each of the destination profiles associated with a respective one of a plurality of destinations that are associated with a network of patient treatment centers, wherein at least some of the destination profiles include at least one event data filtering rule for the respective destination; and a processor that; receives event data for a patient from a field device used to at least one of monitor or treat the patient during an event; analyzes the event data; applies at least one of the data filtering rules by processing the analyzed event data from the server against the plurality of destination profiles associated with the respective destinations associated with the patient treatment centers; selects a subset of the destinations based on applying the content of the event data to the event data filtering rules; routes the event data from the server to the selected subset of the destinations; and determines a destination for the patient treatment center based on a match between the event data and the destination profiles. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a programmable processor of a network server to:
-
receive event data for a patient from a field device used to at least one of monitor or treat the patient during an event, the server storing a plurality of destination profiles associated with respective destinations, the destinations associated with patient treatment centers, at least some of the destination profiles including respective event data filtering rules; analyze the event data; apply at least one of the data filtering rules by processing the analyzed event data from the server against the plurality of destination profiles associated with the respective destinations associated with the patient treatment centers; select a subset of the destinations based on the event data filtering rules; route the event data from the server to the selected subset of the destinations; and determine a destination for the patient treatment center based on a match between the event data and the destination profiles. - View Dependent Claims (50)
