A portable source medical device determines communication links of a network presently available to effect communications with a target component when the source medical device is at each of a multiplicity of geographical locations. A profile is generated comprising information about each available communication link and attributes associated with each available communication link for each geographical location. When the source medical device is at a particular geographical location, a profile associated with the particular geographical location is accessed and a network connection is established between the source medical device and the target component using a communication link associated with the particular profile. Medical information is transferred between the source medical device and the target component via the communication link associated with the particular profile.

The method of claim 1, wherein the prioritization of the communication links is based at least in part on one or more factors concerning the communication link, the one or more factors comprising bandwidth, integrity, and security. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the prioritization of the communication links is based at least in part on one or more factors concerning the communication link, the one or more factors comprising quality of service and level of guaranteed delivery. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the prioritization of the communication links is based at least in part on one or more factors concerning the communication link, the one or more factors comprising cost, profile of a user of the source medical device, and particulars of a service agreement that defines financial and usage terms as between the user of the source medical device and a central authority of the network. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the prioritization of the communication links is based at least in part on one or more factors concerning the communication link, the one or more factors comprising priority or urgency of the medical information. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the prioritization of the communication links is based at least in part on type of source medical device, the type of source medical device comprising at least an implantable cardiac rhythm management device, a physiologic sensor, and a patient sensor. 7. The method of claim 1, comprising selectively enabling and disabling capabilities of one or both of the communication link and target component services based on one of both of a profile of a user of the source medical device and particulars of a service agreement that defines financial and usage terms as between the user of the source medical device and a central authority of the network. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the target component comprises a central authority of the network, and the central authority is configured to establish a communication path via nodes of the network having attributes indicated by the particular profile. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the profile is generated by the source medical device. 10. The method of claim 1, comprising determining the geographical location of the source medical device at least in part using a network implemented locating mechanism. 11. The method of claim 1, comprising determining the geographical location of the source medical device using a mechanism other than a network implemented locating mechanism. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the target component comprises a remote patient monitoring system. 13. A system for transporting medical information across a network configured to service a plurality of geographical locations, comprising: a source medical device configured for portability relative to the plurality of geographical locations, the source medical device comprising or coupled to a mapping agent and a profile library, the mapping agent comprising: a processor configured to execute program instructions for querying the network and determining communication links of the network presently available to effect communications between the source medical device and a target component when the source medical device is at each of the geographical locations;the processor configured to execute program instructions for designating one or more of the geographic locations as a regular destination;the processor configured to execute program instructions for generating a profile comprising information about each of the available communication links and attributes associated with each of the available communication links for each regular destination, to store each of the profiles in the profile library, and to prioritize the communication links;the processor configured to execute program instructions for accessing, when the source medical device is at a particular regular destination of the plurality of geographical locations, a particular profile stored in the source medical device that is associated with the particular regular destination, select a communication link associated with the particular profile based on the prioritization of the communication links, establish a network connection between the source medical device and the target component using the selected communication link associated with the particular profile, and transfer medical information between the source medical device and the target component via the selected communication link associated with the particular profile. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the processor is configured to prioritize the communication links based at least in part on one or more factors concerning the communication link, the one or more factors comprising bandwidth, integrity, and security. 15.
