Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for managing response to patient alarms by clinical care users, comprising: maintaining, in association with an alarm management system, models of alarm response behavior for one or more users; receiving, at the alarm management system, an alarm indication associated with a patient; receiving, at the alarm management system, an alarm context associated with the alarm indication; determining, at the alarm management system, a target user from among the one or more users as associated with the patient; determining, at the alarm management system, alarm response options to be offered to the target user according to evaluating the alarm context and the model of response behavior associated with the target user; transmitting the alarm indication and the determined alarm response options from the alarm management system to a system associated with the target user over a network; receiving, at the alarm management system, a response to the transmitted alarm from the system associated with the target user; interpreting, at the alarm management system, the received response to the transmitted alarm; and adapting, at the alarm management system, the model of response behavior associated with the target user in light of the received response to the transmitted alarm.
