Abstract: A method, system, and article of manufacture for responding to medical alerts, one embodiment of which comprises receiving a medical alert having an associated alert location, detecting a current location for each of a plurality of medical staff members, and selecting a medical staff member to respond to the medical alert based at least in part on the distance between the alert location and the current location. Some embodiments may further comprise receiving a plurality of medical alerts, determining if any of the medical alerts indicates an emergency situation, generating a prioritized task from non-emergency alerts, and selecting a highest priority medical alert from the prioritized list.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and program for processing a message in a network computing system including a facsimile transmission comprised of a recipient contact address and message content. The message content includes at least one of message text and attached files. Multiple facsimile transmissions are managed as fax jobs in multiple fax management systems. The fax management systems transfer the message content from the fax jobs to a rendering computer. The rendering computer launches at least one application program to convert the message content from the multiple fax jobs to images in a file format and transfers each converted message content in the file format to the fax management system that sent the message content to the rendering computing system. The fax management systems transfer the message content in the file format to one of multiple communication ports for transmittal to the recipient contact address.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and program for processing a message in a network computing system including a facsimile transmission comprised of a recipient contact address, such as a telephone number, e-mail address, network address, etc., and message content The message content includes at least one of message text and attached files. A first computing system manages the facsimile transmission as a fax job and transfers the message content to a second computing system. The second computing system launches at least one application program to convert the message content to at least one image in a file format and transfers the converted message content in the file format to the first computing system. The first computing system transfers the message content in the file format to a communication port for transmittal to the recipient contact address.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and program for processing a message in a network computing system including a facsimile transmission comprised of a recipient contact address, e.g., phone number, e-mail address, etc., and one or more attached files. Facsimile transmissions are managed as fax jobs in a fax management system. For each attachment file in the fax job, the fax management system determines a network address of a computer including an application program capable of converting the attachment file to at least one image in a file format. Different computers at different network addresses are capable of converting different attachment file types to at least one image in the file format. The fax management system transmits the attachment file to the computer at the determined network address and the computer receiving the attachment file executes one application program to convert the attachment file to at least one image in a file format.
