Abstract:

Embodiments include methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for providing incoming call context information to a communication device in a medical communication system. Some embodiments may include receiving, by a server device, clinical information in one or more information feeds from one or more other devices, determining, by the server device, whether a communication request from a first communication device for a second communication device has been received, and sending, by the server device, to the second communication device a communication request message including call context information that is drawn from the clinical information. Call context information includes patient and clinical information to enable a recipient to understand the nature and urgency of a call before answering.
