Abstract
The invention, in one aspect, relates to a system for providing for the display of data from a plurality of non-homogeneous medical devices. In one embodiment the system includes a local authority to receive data using a first protocol from the medical devices and convert the data to a second protocol, a central authority in communication with the local authority, and a user interface, in communication with the central authority. The central authority routes data that has been converted to a second protocol for display by the user interface.
Claims18
A processor-based system for providing for the display of data from a plurality of heterogeneous medical devices, the system comprising:
- a central authority subsystem in communication with the plurality of heterogeneous medical devices;
- and
- a user interface in communication with the central authority subsystem;
- and
- a database subsystem in communication with the central authority subsystem;
- wherein the central authority subsystem transmits the data from the plurality of heterogeneous medical devices for display by the user interface and for storage by the database subsystem, substantially simultaneously.
A method for providing for the display of data from a plurality of heterogeneous medical devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving data from the medical devices by a central authority subsystem;
- substantially simultaneously transmitting the data by the central authority subsystem to both a user interface and a database;
- and
- displaying the data by the user interface.
