Abstract

A method for displaying medical data includes receiving physiological data from a first medical monitoring device. The physiological data is obtained on a continuous basis. Physiological data is received from a second medical monitoring device. The physiological data from the second medical monitoring device is obtained on a non-continuous basis. The physiological data received from the first medical monitoring device and the physiological data received from the second medical monitoring device are displayed on a central display station. The central display station is located centrally within a care unit of a caregiving facility.

Claims

1. A method for displaying medical data, the method comprising:

receiving first physiological data, the first physiological data being obtained on a continuous basis;

receiving second physiological data, the second physiological data being obtained on a non-continuous basis;

displaying the first physiological data and the second physiological data on a display tile of a display screen of a central display station; and

providing a control on the display screen to adjust a sampling rate for the first physiological data to show more or less of the first physiological data obtained on the continuous basis.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first physiological data is down-sampled when the control is adjusted.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first physiological data is up-sampled when the control is adjusted.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining the first physiological data via a first workflow on a continuous basis; and

obtaining the second physiological data via a second workflow on a non-continuous basis.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing a first tab displaying trend data; and

providing a second tab displaying a personal alarm data for a patient.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the first physiological data in a first database; and

storing the second physiological data in a second database.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the first physiological data and the second physiological data on a graphical timeline.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the first physiological data and the second physiological data in tabular form.

9. An electronic computing device comprising:

a processing unit; and

system memory, the system memory including instructions that when executed by the processing unit cause the electronic computing device to;

receive first physiological data, the first physiological data being obtained on a continuous basis;

receive second physiological data, the second physiological data being obtained on a non-continuous basis;

display the first physiological data and the second physiological data on a display tile of a display screen of a central display station; and

provide a control on the display screen to adjust a sampling rate for the first physiological data to show more or less of the first physiological data obtained on the continuous basis.

10. The electronic computing device of claim 9, wherein the first physiological data is down-sampled when the control is adjusted.

11. The electronic computing device of claim 9, wherein the first physiological data is up-sampled when the control is adjusted.

12. The electronic computing device of claim 9, wherein the system memory includes further instructions that when executed by the processing unit cause the electronic computing device to:

obtain the first physiological data via a first workflow on a continuous basis; and

obtain the second physiological data via a second workflow on a non-continuous basis.

13. The electronic computing device of claim 9, wherein the system memory includes further instructions that when executed by the processing unit cause the electronic computing device to:

provide a first tab displaying trend data; and

provide a second tab displaying a personal alarm data for a patient.

14. The electronic computing device of claim 9, wherein the system memory includes further instructions that when executed by the processing unit cause the electronic computing device to:

store the first physiological data in a first database; and

store the second physiological data in a second database.

15. The electronic computing device of claim 9, wherein the system memory includes further instructions that when executed by the processing unit cause the electronic computing device to display the first physiological data and the second physiological data on a graphical timeline.

16. The electronic computing device of claim 9, wherein the system memory includes further instructions that when executed by the processing unit cause the electronic computing device to display the first physiological data and the second physiological data in tabular form.
