1. A system comprising:

  • a medical data server, the medical data server comprising a user interface;

    a medical data interchange device, the medical data interchange device comprising;

    a processor;

    a medical device interface configured to communicate with a plurality of medical devices;

    a data relay transceiver; and

    a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;

    automatically detect, based on a wireless signal received via the medical device interface, a communication protocol used by one or more of the second plurality of medical devices;

    transition the medical data interchange device from a quiescent state to an active state in response to the signal to prepare the medical data interchange device to receive data from the medical device;

    broadcast, using the medical device interface, an authorization code stored in the memory in response to a request for authorization, the authorization code for authenticating, by the medical device, the medical data interchange device;

    in response to the detected wireless signal, automatically configure the medical device interface to communicate using a frequency used by the one or more of the plurality of medical devices and a communication protocol used by the one or more of the plurality of medical devices;

    receive, using the device interface, data for a plurality of patients from the plurality of medical devices, wherein the received data includes a location for at least one of the plurality of patients;

    transmit a message including the received data, using the data relay transceiver, to one or more of;

    the medical data server; and

    an intermediary device, wherein the intermediary device includes a software program configured to retransmit the message to the medical data server;

    wherein the medical data server is configured to;

    extract the data for a plurality of patients from the message;

    respectively associate the data for the plurality of patients with a plurality of graphical patient indicia; and

    present the graphical patient indicia on a map using the user interface, wherein the graphical patient indicia are arranged in accordance with respective location data for the plurality of patients on the map.
