1. A patient monitoring station for monitoring a plurality of patient beds comprising:
- a display that concurrently displays a plurality of sectors;
a controller configured to automatically create the sectors, each sector having an initial size sector format and each sector corresponding to one or more medical devices configured to be connected to a patient assigned to a patient bed, and to generate display data indicative of patient data in a corresponding sector of the display when patient data is received from the one or more remote medical devices, the controller programmed to;
determine whether the received patient data is indicative of a patient healthcare event, a change in healthcare state, or an alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition;
automatically resize the corresponding sector to a larger size sector format in response to the patient data being indicative of the patient healthcare event, the change in healthcare state, or the alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition;
at least one of automatically displaying the larger size sector in the larger size sector format at least partially transparent; and
automatically resize the size of the larger size sector to its initial size sector format in response to one of (1) the controller no longer receiving patient data or (2) the patient data no longer being indicative of the pending patient healthcare event, the change in health care state, or the alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition.

Abstract
A patient monitoring station includes a display that displays a plurality of sectors. A controller displays the patient data received from one or more remote medical devices in a corresponding sector of the display. The controller is programmed to collapse one or more sector in response to one of (1) not receiving patient data from the corresponding remote patient monitor or (2) receiving patient data not indicative of a pending patient event or alarm condition; and expand at least sectors that receive patient data indicative of a pending patient event or alarm condition.

8. A method of displaying medical parameters, the method comprising:
-
automatically creating a plurality of sectors, each sector having an initial size sector format; displaying medical parameters indicative of patient data received from one or more remote medical devices configured to be connected to a patient assigned to a patient bed in a corresponding sector of a display when patient data is received from the one or more medical devices; determining whether the received patient data is indicative of a patient healthcare event, a change in healthcare state, or an alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition; automatically resizing the corresponding sector of the display to a larger size sector format in response to the medical parameters being indicative of the patient healthcare event, the change in healthcare state, or the alarm related to the patient'"'"'s condition; at least one of; automatically displaying the expanded larger size sector in the larger size sector format at least partially transparent; and automatically resizing the size of the larger size sector to its initial size sector format in response to one of (a) no longer receiving patient data and (b) the patient data no longer being indicative of the patient healthcare event, the change in healthcare state, or the alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of displaying medical parameters for a plurality of patients, the method comprising:
-
automatically creating one or more display sectors, each sector corresponding to a patient assigned to one or more remote medical devices configured to be connected to a patient assigned to a patient bed; displaying medical parameters indicative of patient data received from one or more remote medical devices in a corresponding sector of a display when patient data is received from the one or more remote medical devices; determining whether the received patient data is indicative of a patient healthcare event, a change in healthcare state, or an alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition; automatically resizing the corresponding sector of the display to a larger size sector in response to the medical parameters being indicative of the patient healthcare event, the change in healthcare state, or the alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition; and at least one of; automatically displaying the larger size sector in larger size sector format at least partially transparent; and automatically resizing the size of the larger size sector to its initial size sector format in response to one of (a) no longer receiving patient data and (b) the patient data no longer being indicative of the patient healthcare event, the change in healthcare state, or the alarm related to the patient'"'"'s medical condition; representing each sector in the initial size format by a small object including a limited representation of the patient data; and representing a sector in the larger size format by a full presentation of the patient data.
