Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for usage modeling and intelligent management of patient alarms, comprising: maintaining, in association with an alarm management system, models of patient alarm operations; incorporating, by the alarm management system, into the models of patient alarm operations one or more modeling parameters related to behaviors associated with clinical users; incorporating, by the alarm management system, one or more modeling parameters related to alarm context into the models of patient alarm operations; establishing rules associated with intelligent alarm management, by the alarm management system, based upon the models of patient alarm operations; applying the established rules associated with intelligent alarm management, by the alarm management system, to presentation of alarms to the clinical users; applying the established rules associated with intelligent alarm management, by the alarm management system, to interpretation of alarm responses from the clinical users; and adapting the established rules associated with intelligent alarm management, by the alarm management system, to improve a metric of patient alarm efficacy.
