A patient alert management system includes a remote alert monitor at a location, an alert management and reporting server, and a portable communications device. The remote alert monitor generates an alert in response to an internal patient care timer or receiving an alert from a patient care device at the location of the remote alert monitor and communicates the alert to the alert management and reporting server. The alert management and reporting server sends a message to the portable communications device including a description of the alert and the location. The portable communications device displays the description and location to a caregiver. The caregiver goes to the location and cancels the alert via the remote alert monitor. The remote alert monitor sends an alert cancellation to the alert management and reporting server in the alert management and reporting server cancels the alert in response to receiving the alert cancellation. |
