4. Click Discharge. A window displays the patient name, patient ID, and bed
number. The message Are you sure you want to DISCHARGE this patient? also
displays.
5. Verify you are discharging the correct patient:
When this is the patient you want to discharge, click Yes. This will discharge
the patient.
The CIC Pro center displays a message similar to the following in the patient
window, Discharging patient... and then displays the multi-patient viewer.
In the multi-patient viewer, the discharged patient window displays one of
the following types of information:
When a telemetry patient is discharged from a locked patient window,
the message Discharged is displayed in the patient window.
When a telemetry patient is discharged from an unlocked patient
window, an Admit button is displayed in the patient window.
When a hard-wired patient is discharged, the message Discharged and
the bed name are displayed in the patient window.
When this is not the patient you want to discharge, click No to cancel this
action and display the single patient viewer.
The following are guidelines to remember when monitoring in Combo or Rover
Combo monitoring modes.
When monitoring ECG from telemetry:
ECG limits and Arrhythmia Alarm Levels are not your monitor defaults, but
are the telemetry defaults from the central station. You can adjust these
settings at the monitor.
