1. A method for managing alarm notifications, the method comprising:
by an alarm notification component comprising physical computer hardware:
receiving, from a multi-patient monitoring computing device, an alarm notification regarding an alarm at a patient device;
in response to receiving the alarm notification, transmitting, to the multi-patient monitoring computing device, a first indication that the alarm notification was received by a clinician device, wherein the first indication provides information to the multi-patient monitoring computing device to not accelerate escalation of the alarm;
electronically generating a user interface configured to output an indication of the alarm notification to a clinician user and a user interface control selectable by the clinician user to respond to the alarm notification;
determining that the indication of the alarm notification was viewed by the clinician user at the clinician device but that the clinician user has not yet responded to the indication of the alarm notification;
in response to determining that the indication of the alarm notification was viewed by the clinician user but that the clinician user has not yet responded to the indication of the alarm notification, transmitting, to the multi-patient monitoring computing device, a second indication that the alarm notification was viewed by the clinician user but that the clinician user has not yet responded to the indication of the alarm notification, wherein the second indication provides information to the multi-patient monitoring computing device to not accelerate escalation of the alarm;
receiving an input from the clinician user, via the user interface, indicating that the clinician user has declined handling the alarm; and
in response to receiving the input, transmitting, to the multi-patient monitoring computing device, a response to the alarm notification indicating that the clinician user has declined handling the alarm and so as to enable escalation of the alarm by the multi-patient monitoring computing device.
