1. A dynamic patient monitoring system comprising:
- a central monitoring station coupled with a plurality of monitors to generate monitored physiological data; and
a touch screen display adapted to receive and display numerical and graphical representations of monitored physiological data from a plurality of patients, wherein the touch screen display is adapted to simultaneously display real time and historic patient data corresponding to a plurality of patients, wherein the real time and historic patient data for each of said plurality of patients is displayed within patient display zones, each of said display zones having a size associated therewith, and wherein, when data from a new patient is acquired by the monitoring system, said sizes of the patient display zones automatically decrease by an amount sufficient to display the data from the new patient, provided that decreasing the sizes of said patient display zones does not result in any one patient display zone having a size less than a predefined number of pixels.

Abstract
The invention provides a dynamic central monitoring station having multiple touch screens for displaying numerical and graphical representation of vital statistics of one or more patients. The central monitoring station is connected to one or more bedside monitors and telemetry devices. The multiple touch screens are configurable to simultaneously display real time and historic patient data corresponding to a plurality of patients. One screen serves as a dedicated display screen for the review of individual patient data while the remaining screens continue to display vital statistics for all of the monitored patients.

14. A dynamic patient monitoring system comprising:
-
a central monitoring station coupled with a plurality of monitors to generate monitored physiological data; and a touch screen display adapted to receive and display numerical and graphical representations of monitored physiological data from a plurality of patients, wherein the touch screen display is adapted to simultaneously display real time and historic patient data corresponding to a plurality of patients, wherein the real time and historic patient data for each of said plurality of patients is displayed within patient display zones, each of said display zones having a size associated therewith, and wherein the touch screen display comprises at least one icon which, when actuated for a first patient display zone associated with a first patient, causes the system to automatically display data corresponding to data that was displayed for the first patient within a first predefined period before the patient'"'"'s most recent significant physiological event, during the patient'"'"'s most recent significant physiological event, and within a second predefined period after the patient'"'"'s most recent significant physiological event. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
