The system () includes one or more processors () programmed to receive physiological scores and/or physiological parameter values; compare the physiological scores and/or the physiological parameter values to a plurality of alarm levels; in response to a physiological score and/or physiological parameter value falling within an uninhibited zone of the alarm levels, issue an alarm; and set a first inhibition period for the uninhibited alarm level after issuing the alarm.
