Abstract
Systems and methods for integration of audiovisual components of central station monitoring are provided. At the outset, patient data from a central monitoring station is received at an audiovisual switcher. The patient data is from a plurality of patient monitors, each patient monitor corresponding to a respective patient of a plurality of patients. The patient data from the central monitoring station is continuously transmitted to an integrated terminal that is communicatively coupled to the audiovisual switcher. The patient data is also selectively transmitted to a user terminal that is communicatively coupled to the audiovisual switcher.
Claims20
An audiovisual switcher, comprising:
- one or more input ports configured to receive patient data from the central monitoring station;
- one or more output ports configured to continuously transmit the patient data from the central monitoring station to an integrated terminal that is communicatively coupled to the audiovisual switcher;
- and
- one or more output ports configured to selectively transmit the patient data from the central monitoring station to a user terminal that is communicatively coupled to the audiovisual switcher.
A method for integration of audiovisual components of a central monitoring station, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an audiovisual switcher, patient data from the central monitoring station;
- continuously transmitting, at the audiovisual switcher, the patient data from the central monitoring station to an integrated terminal that is communicatively coupled to the audiovisual switcher;
- and
- selectively transmitting, at the audiovisual switcher, the patient data from the central monitoring station to a user terminal that is communicatively coupled to the audiovisual switcher.
