Abstract

Techniques for routing event data from a field device, such as an external defibrillator, to a selected subset of a plurality of possible destinations are described. The event data may include physiological data of the patient, such as a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The destinations may be associated with one of a plurality of patient treatment centers, and may include, as examples, computing device, printers, displays, personal digital assistants, or web-accessible accounts. In some examples, a server maintains user-configurable information or rules for at least some of the destinations, and uses the information or rules for determining whether event data received from a field device is routed to the destination. In some examples, the server may also make the routing determination based on an analysis of event data, such as a determination as to whether the event data indicates that the patient is suspected to be experiencing an acute myocardial infarction.

Claims (5)

1 . A method comprising:

identifying at least one emergency medical service (EMS) and a plurality of patient treatment centers within a geographical region;

forming a regional patient treatment network comprising the EMS and the patient treatment centers;

receiving subscriptions from the EMS and the patient treatment centers to a patient data communication service for the regional patient treatment network; and

routing patient data between devices associated with the EMS and devices associated with the patient treatment centers with a server based at least in part on user-configurable information stored within the server and an analysis of physiological data included within the patient data.
