Proximity-based mobile-device updates of electronic health records

A computing device comprising a computer memory and a computer processor that is configured to allow a decision support application to receive proximity-based updates of patient medical information, the computing device comprising:

• an RF beacon configured to wirelessly communicate a reference pointer;
• one or more networked computing components configured to associate the reference pointer with a target patient;
• a patient monitor configured to obtain a physiological measurement of the target patient;
• and
• a user device configured to detect the RF beacon and receive the reference pointer communicated from the RF beacon, the user device comprising one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
• communicating the reference pointer to the one or more networked computing components;
• receiving, from the one or more networked computing components, the physiological measurement of the target patient;
• and
• displaying, on a user interface of the user device, the physiological measurement of the target patient.

One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors, implement a method comprising:

• wirelessly communicating, using an RF beacon, a reference pointer;
• associating, using one or more networked computing components, the reference pointer with a target patient;
• obtaining, using a patient monitor, a physiological measurement of the target patient;
• and
• detecting, using a user device, the RF beacon;
• receiving, using the user device, the reference pointer communicated from the RF beacon
• communicating, from the user device, the reference pointer to the one or more networked computing components;
• receiving, at the user device, from the one or more networked computing components, the physiological measurement of the target patient;
• and
• displaying, on a user interface of the user device, the physiological measurement of the target patient.
