Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus and methods are described, including apparatus for use with a plurality of clinicians. The apparatus includes a patient-monitoring system, including a clinical sensor, configured to measure a clinical parameter of a patient, and to generate a clinical-sensor signal in response thereto. A control unit is configured to, in response to the clinical-sensor signal, determine that an alert event has occurred, and in response to having determined that the alert event has occurred, (a) compare respective numbers of alerts that the plurality of clinicians have received within a previous given time period, and (b) in response to the comparison, communicate an alert to a subset of the plurality of clinicians before communicating the alert to any other clinician. Other applications are also described.
