1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
providing, in a communication system, a plurality of adapter interfaces configured to adapt message communications between medical systems in a hospital network, the medical systems including at least one medical device, a first adapter interface being configured to receive a first message that originates from a first device and convert at least a portion of the first message from a first format into a second format different than the first format for transmission to a second adapter interface associated with a second device different than the first device;
storing, in a memory device, communication topology information associated with routing of messages transmitted between the adapter interfaces in the communication system;
determining a graphical representation of a communication topology based on the communication topology information;
providing for display a graphic interface for modification of the communication topology information of the communication system, the graphic interface comprising the determined graphical representation of the communication topology, including representations of the first adapter interface and the second adapter interface and a communication path between at least the first adapter interface and the second adapter interface;
receiving, via the graphic interface, a first user selection a first representation corresponding to the first adapter interface; and
causing the graphic interface to visually display, based on the first user selection corresponding to the first adapter interface, one or more first controls configured to modify at least a portion of the communication topology information and, based on an indication to display message routing information, together with the graphical representation of the communication topology information, message routing information transmitted between the first adapter interface and the second adapter interface.
