11. A computing device comprising: a processing system; a communication interface that receives medical status data from a monitoring device, the medical status data representing a physiological characteristic of a patient; and a data storage system that stores: an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) document; and computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the computing device to: generate a script file by applying a transformation to the medical status data, the transformation specified by the XSLT document; execute the script file, wherein executing the script file causes the computing device to generate transformed data by applying a different transformation to the medical status data and send transformed data to a plurality of receiver systems; determine whether a given one of the receiver systems is an authority, wherein the given receiver system is an authority when operation of the monitoring device is effected by whether the given receiver system successfully received the transformed data; disregard a response received from the given receiver system when the given receiver system is not an authority, the received response indicating whether the given receiver system successfully received the transformed data; set an overall response to the received response when the received response is a first response received from the receiver systems and the given receiver system is an authority; set the overall response to a result of performing a logical “and” operation on the received response and the overall response when the received response is not the first response received from the receiver systems and the given receiver system is an authority; and send the overall response to the monitoring device when the computing device has received responses from each of the receiver systems.

The computing device of claim 11 , wherein execution of the script file causes execution of one or more programs.
