The Patient List window opens.

If the patient is currently connected to a hardwired patient monitor, the information is
stored at the Acuity Central Station and the patient map icon remains in the original
position and state until the move takes place.

the patient map icon appears at the new central station. If you did not enter the room
number, the icon remains in the yellow RM unconfirmed state until the room is
confirmed.
