A computer-implemented patient information provisioning method is disclosed. The method includes automatically extracting with a computer system, from records maintained for a patient under care in a healthcare facility, information from a electronic medical record； obtaining with the computer system information about a medical ventilator treating the patient； using the information from the electronic medical record and the information about the medical ventilator to determine whether a potentially dangerous condition exists with respect to the ventilator； and electronically alerting a caregiver if it is determined that a potentially dangerous condition exists.
