Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient
Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same
Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information.
1 Before you disconnect the MMS from the monitor, select the patient name field or select the
Admit/ Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer
pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the
Transfer key is inactive ("grayed-out").
This step preserves the patient's demographic data during the transfer.
2 Remove the MMS and any connected extensions from the monitor.
3 Connect the MMS to the transfer monitor and monitor your patient during the move.
4 At the new location, connect the MMS to the monitor. If the monitor detects a patient mismatch,
a window will open showing your patient's data and asking whether to
