1. An integrated apparatus for use in a patient examination, said apparatus comprising:
- at least one medical diagnostic instrument including a vital signs monitoring device for measuring physiologic parameters from a patient including blood pressure, glucose, body temperature, pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation; and
a computing device connected to the vital signs monitoring device, wherein at least one of said computing device and vital signs monitoring device are programmed to detect changes in a patient condition and in which said computing device is programmed to alert a user that changes in said patient condition have occurred based on changes to two or more of the measured physiologic parameters, wherein the computing device is programmed to create patient-specific thresholds based on historical readings and at least two of location, position and method relating to the measurement of each physiologic parameter and in which changes in the at least two physiologic parameters, including the patient-specific thresholds, is used by the computing device to produce an alert predictive of the onset of sepsis, wherein the alert apprises the user of the onset of sepsis including reasons for the alert.
