1. A system for communicating medical information to a caregiver, the system comprising:

  • a display that presents patient/medical information of a first information type;

    a first wireless communication device associated with a first caregiver and transmitting a first signal indicative of patient/medical information of a predetermined second information type;

    a second wireless communication device associated with the display, the second wireless communication device configured to receive the first signal from the first wireless communication device, when the first wireless communication device is within a predetermined distance of the display;

    a third wireless communication device associated with a second caregiver and the third wireless communication device transmits a second signal indicative of patient/medical information of a third information type, the third wireless communication device further comprising a button, upon activation of the button, the third wireless device produces a third signal; and

    a controller in communication with the second wireless communication device and the display, the controller automatically identifies the patient/medical information of the predetermined second information type from the first signal from the first wireless communication device and automatically adjusts the patient/medical information of the first information type displayed on the display to the patient/medical information of the predetermined second information type, the patient/medical information of the predetermined second information type specifically tailored to the specific caregiver;

    wherein when the second wireless communication device received the first signal and the second signal, the controller selects between the patient/medical information of the predetermined second information type and the patient/medical information of the third information type based upon a programmed hierarchy of received wireless signals based upon the specific caregivers associated with each of the first and third wireless communication devices, and if the controller selects the patient/medical information of the predetermined second information type, and the controller further receives the third signal through the second wireless communication device, the controller overrides the programmed hierarchy and automatically adjusts the patient/medical information of the predetermined second information type to the patient/medical information of the predetermined third information type.
