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

  • providing at least one central monitoring system for monitoring a plurality of physiological parameters, wherein each central monitoring system includes a first transceiver and a memory component;

    coupling a patient monitor having a second transceiver and a memory component 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 the central monitoring system;

    storing physiological data in the memory component of the central monitoring system;

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

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

    providing a bi-directional communications link between the central monitoring system and at least one remote access device to allow bi-directional communication between the remote access device and the central monitoring system from a location remote from the central monitoring system, the remote access device including a transceiver and a memory component; and

    selectively transmitting physiological data from the central monitoring system to the remote access device.
