HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT EVENT INTERFACE

摘要

A system and method are provided for providing an integration interface for event messages being sent between nurse call devices and interface devices outside of the nurse call system. The system includes an integration interface server disposed between the nurse call system and the interface devices. The integration interface server includes an integration engine that performs a translation process on event messages received at the integration interface server. The translation process translates the event messages such that they can be understood by either the nurse call system or the interface devices. Further, the translation process is based on whether the event message was originally created to be sent to the nurse call system or the interface devices. In this manner, the integration interface server is configured to provide a common interface to and from the nurse call system for a variety of interface device types.
