Move a monitored patient
You can move a monitored patient in these ways:
•
Move a patient and monitor to a new room within the unit or transfer to a new unit
within the same Acuity System network.
•
Move a patient to a different monitor anywhere within the same Acuity System
network.
If the patient’s original Acuity System review information is still available within the Acuity
System network (24 to 96 hours after disconnect), it is available in the new location after
the move.
Patient data collected on the patient monitor during the move might transfer to the Acuity
System, depending upon the monitor.
For information about patient monitors that are part of your Acuity System but are not
shown in this chapter, consult the patient monitor manufacturer’s literature.
Move the patient and monitor to a new location
You can arrange to move a patient and monitor to a new location in these ways:
•
From the Acuity Central Station
•
From a hardwired or wireless monitor.
If you would like to add a note to a patient’s Waveform Window regarding a move, you
can do so in the Patient ID Setup window. For instructions, see
WARNING Always check alarm limits when a monitor reestablishes
communication with the Acuity System. If you change limits at a monitor while it
is not communicating with the Acuity System (for example, during transport or
signal dropout), when you reestablish communication with the system, the limits
might change to Acuity System Presets values.
