Transferring Patients

5 Managing Patients

To save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, information can be shared between measurement servers, patient monitors, and Information Centers.

–patient demographic information is shared between connected measurement servers, patient monitors, and Information Centers

–measurement settings and calibration data can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if configured

–trend information can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if configured.

Different sets of patient- and measurement-related data are stored in the monitor and the Multi- Measurement Server. Understanding this will help you to understand what happens to patient data when you transfer patients.

Patient Information	Stored in Monitor	Stored in MMS and extensions

Patient demographics (name,	yes	yes
DOB, MRN)

Monitor settings (alarm pause	yes	no
time, alarm volume)

Measurement settings for all	yes	yes, for all MMS and extensions
measurements (alarm limits,		measurements
measurement on/off, etc.)

Trend data	yes, for all MMS and extensions	most recent 8 hours of
	measurements (up to a maximum	information, for all MMS and
	of 16 or 32, depending on your	extensions measurements
	database configuration)

Calculation data (HemoCalc	yes	no
data)

Events data	yes	no

WARNING If the monitor is not battery-powered, you cannot monitor during transport.

Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient

Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information.

1Before you disconnect the MMS from the monitor, select the patient name in the monitor info line to enter the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive (“grayed-out”).

This step preserves the patient’s demographic data during the transfer.

2Remove the MMS and any connected extensions from the monitor.

3Connect the MMS to the transfer monitor and monitor your patient during the move.
