A computer module for managing medical information is described. Aspects of the invention provide a “binding” or association process for mapping information from a patient, including at the bedside, to medical devices and/or locations containing medical devices. This may advantageously allow combining all patient-bound device data in a single repository and effectively enable viewing of all patient data in one location. Accordingly, numerous discrete device data with respect to a single patient may be captured, including from among differing medical device types, and conveniently stored together as part of an intelligent data warehouse for efficient retrieval, updating, processing, including with respect to data analytics, display and/or other advantageous features. A medical device communication system is also described.
