Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for displaying on a user display device alarm-triggering events detected by the medical device based on the location of the user display device. The method comprises receiving alarm-triggering patient data from a medical device and determining the physical location of first and second user display devices. The method further comprises determining that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have an alarm displayed, and that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have an alarm displayed. In response to these determinations, the content of the alarm is displayed on the first user display device.

Claims

1. Non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, cause a computing device to perform a method of displaying on a user display device alert-triggering events detected by a medical device based on a location of the user display device, the method comprising:

receiving from a medical device patient data which triggers an alert having associated alert content;

determining a physical location of first and second user display devices, wherein the physical location of the first and second user display devices is independent from users logged onto the first and second user display devices;

determining that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have the alert content displayed;

in response to the determination that the determination that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have the alert content displayed, displaying the alert and the alert content on the first user display device, wherein the alert content comprises one or more selectable visual representations of the patient data;

receiving, via a user interface on the first user display device, a user selection of at least one selectable visual representation of the patient data of the one or more selectable visual representations of the patient data;

determining that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alert content displayed; and

in response to the determination that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alert content displayed, displaying the alert without the alert content on the second user display device.

2. The media of claim 1, wherein the first user display device is located at a nurse manager'"'"'s station and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

3. The media of claim 1, wherein the first user display device is located in a patient'"'"'s room and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

4. The media of claim 1, wherein the patient is a maternity patient and the medical device patient data is for the maternity patient and her unborn baby.

5. The media of claim 1, further comprising receiving, from one or more additional medical devices, patient data which triggers one or more additional alerts having alert content associated with the one or more additional alerts.

6. The media of claim 5, further comprising displaying a number representing a number of the one or more additional alerts on the first user display device and the second user display device.

7. A computerized method carried out by a computing device having one or more processors for displaying on a user display device alert-triggering events detected by a medical device based on a location of the user display device, the method comprising:

receiving from a medical device patient data which triggers an alert;

determining a physical location of a first user device, wherein the physical location of the first user device is independent from a user logged onto the first user device;

determining, using the one or more processors, that the physical location of the first user device is designated to have the alert displayed;

in response to the determination, displaying content of the alert on the first user device, wherein the content of the alert comprises one or more selectable visual representations of the patient data;

receiving, via a user interface on the first device, a user selection of at least one selectable visual representation of the patient data of the one or more selectable visual representations of the patient data; and

associating, upon receiving the user selection, the selected at least one selectable visual representation of the patient data with a corresponding electronic medical record of the patient.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising displaying one or more additional patient data elements associated with the patient, in response to receiving the user selection of the at least one selectable visual representation of the patient data.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving a user selection of at least one additional patient data element of the one or more additional patient data elements.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising associating the selected at least one additional patient data element with the corresponding electronic medical record of the patient.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more additional patient data elements correspond to a time period associated with the alert.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising determining a physical location of a second user device and determining, using the one or more processors, that the physical location of the second user device is not designated to have the alert displayed.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising, in response to the determination that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alert content displayed, displaying the alert without the alert content on the second user display device.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first user display device is located at a nurse manager'"'"'s station and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the first user display device is located in a patient'"'"'s room and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

16. A system for displaying on a user display device alert-triggering events detected by a medical device based on a location of the user display device, the system comprising:

a computing device having one or more processors and one or more computer-storage media; and

a data store coupled with the computing device,

wherein the computing device;

receives from a medical device patient data which triggers an alert;

determines a physical location of first and second user display devices, wherein the physical location of the first and second user display devices is independent from users logged onto the first and second user display devices;

determines that the physical location of the first user display device is designated to have the alert displayed;

determines that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alert displayed;

in response to the determinations, communicates content of the alert for display on the first user display device and not the second user display device, wherein the content of the alert comprises one or more selectable visual representations of the patient data;

receives, via a user interface on the first device, a user selection of at least one selectable visual representation of the patient data of the one or more selectable visual representations of the patient data; and

associates, upon receiving the user selection, the selected at least one selectable visual representation of the patient data with a corresponding electronic medical record of the patient, the corresponding electronic medical record of the patient being stored in a database.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the first user display device is located at a nurse manager'"'"'s station and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the first user display device is located in a patient'"'"'s room and the second user display device is located in an operating room.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein the patient is a maternity patient and the medical device patient data is for the maternity patient and her unborn baby.

20. The system of claim 16, wherein the computing device, in response to the determination that the physical location of the second user display device is not designated to have the alert content displayed, displays the alert without the alert content on the second user display device.
