Multi-technology wireless communication network network for monitoring patient through-out a healthcare facility

A method for providing continuous wireless connectivity for monitoring a patient throughout a healthcare facility, comprising:

• providing an access point communication system in the healthcare facility, the access point communication system comprising:
• (i) an in-room access point in a room defined at least in part by shielding walls, and (ii) an outside-the-room access point outside of the room and connected to the in-room access point;
• transmitting, by a communication unit of a first source device monitoring the patient, first information related to the patient and second information related to the patient;
• receiving, by an in-room transceiver of the in-room access point, first information from the first source device monitoring the patient;
• receiving, by an outside-the-room transceiver of the outside-the-room access point, second information from the first source device monitoring the patient;
• combining, by a processor of the access point system, the first information from the first source device and the second information from the first source device to generate a digital data stream;
• and
• transmitting, by an access point communication unit of the access point system, the digital data stream to an information system of the healthcare facility.
