Method and apparatus for configuration for monitoring patient information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving context information of a patient monitoring device, wherein the context information of the patient monitoring device comprises;
i) a department, unit, or other environment within which the patient monitoring device is located, ii) information regarding a type, identification, and/or network address of the patient monitoring device, and iii) an indication of a body part of a patient to which the patient monitoring device is attached;
determining to configure the patient monitoring device if the received context information of the patient monitoring device is different than a current context associated with the patient monitoring device;
identifying device configuration information based on the received context information, wherein the device configuration information includes monitoring measurement parameters for the body part of the patient to which the patient monitoring device is attached; and
causing provision of the identified device configuration information to facilitate monitoring measurement parameters for the body part of the patient to which the patient monitoring device is attached.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate reconfiguration of a patient monitoring device. In one method, an indication of an anticipated utilization of a patient monitoring device for which the patient monitoring device is not configured is received. The method also includes accessing device configuration information relating to a configuration associated with the anticipated utilization and causing provision of the device configuration information relating to the configuration associated with the anticipated utilization. In another method, information regarding a configuration of a patient monitoring device is received. The method also determines whether to differently configure the patient monitoring device in accordance with an anticipated utilization of the patient monitoring device for which the patient monitoring device is not configured. If the patient monitoring device is to be differently configured, the method causes information related to the configuration associated with the anticipated utilization to be provided.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving information regarding a configuration of a patient monitoring device, wherein the information regarding the configuration comprises an identifier associated with the patient monitoring device and device configuration information; determining, based on the received information regarding the configuration of the patient monitoring device, whether to differently configure the patient monitoring device in accordance with context information of the patient monitoring device, the context information of the patient monitoring device comprises i) a department, unit, or other environment within which the patient monitoring device is located, ii) information regarding a type, identification, and/or network address of the patient monitoring device, and iii) an indication of a body part of a patient to which the patient monitoring device is attached; and in an instance in which the patient monitoring device is to be differently configured based on the context information of the patient monitoring device being different than a current context associated with the patient monitoring device, causing information related to the device configuration information associated with the context information to be provided to facilitate monitoring measurement parameters for the body part of the patient to which the patient monitoring device is attached. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 19)
