Abstract

Methods, computer systems and computer readable media of proximity based alarm suppression are provided. In embodiments, a device signal emitted by a device signal transmitter associated with an infusion device is detected. A clinician signal emitted by a clinician signal transmitter associated with a clinician is detected. The device signal and the clinician signal are detected at a signal receiver having a known location. Based on the detecting of the device signal and the clinician signal, the clinician is determined to be in proximity to the infusion device. Based on the proximity of the clinician to the infusion device, an alarm associated with the infusion device is automatically suppressed.
