Abstract
A system is configured for accessing, editing, managing and/or observing medical related data. The system includes one or more computing devices that interact with one or more medical devices with respect to medical data. The data can be transmitted over a communication network, which can be coupled to or include the Internet or any other computer network.
Claims42
A method of managing medical related data, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a local computer to send at least a first set of medical data to a remote data repository, wherein the data repository is accessible only via a telecommunication network;
- determining a status of a network connection between the local computer and the telecommunication network;
- based on the determined status, either sending the first set of medical data over the telecommunication network to the remote data repository or saving the first set of medical data to a local server without sending the first set of medical data to the remote data repository.
A computer-implemented method for transmitting medical data-related comprising:
- receiving a request to transmit patient data elements, wherein each patient data element is a piece of information that is relevant to patient care;
- determining an assigned priority of each of the patient data elements to be transmitted;
- sorting the patient data elements in at least one queue based on the assigned priority of each patient data element;
- determining an available communication bandwidth for transmitting data over a network;
- transmitting the patient data elements based upon the available communication bandwidth and the assigned priority.
A program configured to provide communication between a computing device and a medical device, wherein the program automatically detects a medical device connected to the computing device and provides a stream for transferring data between the medical device and the computing device.
