Alert management utilizing mobile devices
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more mobile devices, cause the one or more mobile devices to perform a method of managing patient alerts, the method comprising:
- receiving on a first mobile device an alert related to a patient, the first mobile device associated with a first caregiver assigned to care for the patient;
determining that the alert is a critical alert or a noncritical alert;
based on determining that the alert is a critical alert, superseding applications running on the first mobile device to present the alert;
presenting on the first mobile device the alert related to the patient;
receiving on the first mobile device an acceptance of the alert by the first caregiver;
presenting on the first mobile device a list of one or more additional caregivers assigned to care for the patient;
receiving on the first mobile device a selection of at least one of the one or more additional caregivers; and
communicating the alert to a second mobile device associated with the at least one of the one or more additional caregivers.

Abstract
Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage medium are provided for managing patient alerts using a mobile device. A mobile device associated with a patient caregiver receives a critical alert related to the patient, and the alert is presented on the mobile device. The alert includes important contextual information that enables the caregiver to make a quick assessment of how to effectively address the alert. The alert includes options for accepting the alert or rejecting the alert. Acceptance of the alert enables the caregiver to communicate the alert to selected caregivers that can assist in managing the alert. Rejecting the alert causes the alert to be automatically communicated to additional caregivers associated with patient.

15. A non-transitory computer-storage medium having stored thereon instructions, executable by a mobile device, for an alert user interface for managing patient alerts, the alert user interface comprising:
-
a patient identification area that presents on the mobile device an identity of a patient that is the subject of a medical alert; an alert identifier area that presents on the mobile device one of a critical alert or a noncritical alert, wherein the alert identifier area comprises an alert acceptance area configured to receive a user acceptance of the medical alert and an alert rejection area configured to receive a user rejection of the medical alert; wherein the mobile device is configured to supersede applications running on the mobile device to present the critical alert in the alert identifier area; wherein the mobile device is configured to block functionalities of the mobile device other than the alert identifier area when the critical alert is presented in the alert identifier area; and wherein the mobile device is configured to enable functionalities of the mobile device upon receiving one of the user acceptance of the critical alert or the user rejection of the critical alert. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
