Medical monitoring system
First Claim
1. A medical patient monitoring device for displaying information associated with one or more medical patients, the medical patient monitoring device comprising:
- a housing comprisingan interface configured to receive information associated with at least one patient;
a display configured to display the information;
a processor configured to control the information appearing on the display; and
a detector for detecting the physical presence of a clinician token within a detection area originating from the detector inside the medical patient monitoring device housing, the clinician token being indicative of the identity of a clinician, and the detector being configured to recognize detection of the clinician token only after receiving a wireless signal from the clinician token whose strength exceeds a user-configurable signal strength threshold for a period of time that is greater than a user-configurable proximity time threshold,wherein the processor is further configured to take a first predetermined action comprising transmitting physiological information to a remote device in response to detection of the clinician token, the first predetermined action being associated with the identity of the clinician.

Abstract
Medical patient monitoring devices that have the capability of detecting the physical proximity of a clinician are disclosed. The medical patient monitoring devices may be configured to perform a selected action when the presence of a clinician is detected. Systems and methods for facilitating communication between medical devices that use different medical communication protocol formats are also disclosed. For example, a medical communication protocol translator can be configured to receive an input message formatted according to a first protocol format from a first medical device and to output an output message formatted according to a second protocol format supported by a second medical device using a set of translation rules. Medical monitoring reporting systems are also disclosed. The medical monitoring reporting systems may be used to analyze a stored collection of physiological parameter data to simulate the effect of changing various medical monitoring options.

3. A medical patient monitoring device for monitoring physiological information, the medical patient monitoring device comprising:
-
a housing comprising an interface configured to receive physiological information associated with at least one patient; a processor configured to determine a patient physiological parameter based on the physiological information; and a detector for detecting the physical presence of a clinician token within a detection area originating from the detector inside the medical patient monitoring device housing, the clinician token being indicative of the identity of a clinician, and the detector being configured to recognize detection of the clinician token only after receiving a wireless signal from the clinician token whose strength exceeds a user-configurable first signal strength threshold for a period of time that is greater than a user-configurable proximity time threshold, and to cease to recognize detection of the clinician token only when the strength of the wireless signal does not exceed a second signal strength threshold which is different from the first signal strength threshold, wherein the processor is further configured to take a first predetermined action in response to detection of the clinician token, the first predetermined action being associated with the identity of the clinician, and to take a second predetermined action in response to the clinician token no longer being detected. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
