Alert management utilizing mobile devices
First Claim
1. A system in a healthcare computing environment that facilitates managing patient alerts via an alert service, the system comprising:
- a receiving component for receiving data from medical devices electronically associated with a patient and in communication with the alert service;
an alerting component for generating a pop-up message alert comprising one of a critical alert and a noncritical alert relating to the patient, wherein the critical alert is configured to supersede other processes executing on a mobile device; and
a communicating component for communicating the alert to a first mobile device and for receiving a response to the alert, the first mobile device associated with a first caregiver assigned to care for the patient.

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.

11. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method of managing patient alerts via an alert service, the method comprising:
-
communicating, to a first mobile device executing the alert service, a pop-up message alert related to a patient, the first mobile device associated with a first caregiver assigned to care for the patient; interrupting, by the alert service, other processes executing on the first mobile device; and presenting the alert on a user interface on the first mobile device such that the alert overlies other elements of the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method of managing patient alerts via an alert service, the method comprising:
-
communicating, to a first mobile device executing the alert service and associated with a first caregiver assigned to care for a patient, information to generate an alert relating to the patient; generating a pop-up message that overlies other user interface elements of the first mobile device, wherein the pop-up message comprises at least one of the patient'"'"'s name, at least one device reading, or at least one medication associated with the patient; and interrupting, by the alert service, other processes executing on the first mobile device; wherein the information to generate the alert relating to the patient is derived from one or more medical devices electronically associated with the patient. - View Dependent Claims (21)
