System, method, and software for communicating with medical devices

A method for communicating with medical devices includes receiving, at a medical device communication interface, patient parameters from a first and second medical device in a respective first and second format. The method further includes identifying, at the medical device communication interface, a first and second protocol associated with the patient parameters by comparing the patient parameters and the first and second format to a predefined schema. The method further includes modifying, at the medical device communication interface, a respective configuration parameter for each of the first and second medical devices. The method further includes translating the patient parameters based on the first and second identified protocols and the respective configuration parameter for each of the first and second medical devices.
