1. A method for monitoring a plurality of physiological parameters of a patient, comprising the steps of:

  • providing at least first and second central monitoring systems for monitoring a plurality of physiological parameters, the central monitoring systems each including a first transceiver;

    coupling a patient monitor having a second transceiver to said patient to monitor at least one said physiological parameter;

    continually transmitting a first data signal corresponding to said physiological parameters from said patient monitor to said first central monitoring system, the first data signal including a patient location signal;

    transmitting a second data signal from said first central monitoring system to said patient monitor to remotely select at least one of the plurality of physiological parameters to monitor;

    displaying a continuous representation of at least one physiological parameter on a display coupled to the first central monitoring system;

    automatically switching control from the first central monitoring system to the second central monitoring system based on the patient location signal; and

    displaying a continuous representation of at least one physiological parameter on a display coupled to the second central monitoring system.
