location, must be queried using the "Query By Patient Identification" method described
below.
Monitors that are situated between multiple room/bed locations may be configured to
present the user with a list of query options. In this case, a room/bed query can be
initiated by:
(a) Selecting the desired room/bed location presented in the CIS menu
(choices F1-F2).
(b) Selecting the desired room/bed location from a list of locations pre-
configured in the module (F3 Selection).
—OR—
(c) Manually entering the room/bed location using the F4 selection.
Any of these methods will send the query request to the ADT system for the selected
room/bed location. Choices F1-F2 represent the last two room/bed locations previously
confirmed by that monitor.
Query By Patient Identification
When a patient has not been assigned to a room/bed location in the hospital ADT system
or the patient shown in the ADT system for that location is incorrect, the operator can
query the ADT system using the patient's ID number rather than the room/bed location.
This query requires the entry of the patient's identification as it is listed in the hospital's
Information System.
To perform a query by patient ID:
1. Select the "Enter ID to Query" choice from the CIS menu.
2. Enter the patient's ID. If your facility uses an ID prefix that is the same for each
patient, the entry of this prefix may already have been configured in the module
facilitating the entry process. In this case, only the number following the prefix
should be entered.
Selecting a Different Patient
After a query is initiated, the results of that query will be displayed in the CIS display
area. If the information returned by the Clinical Information System does not match the
patient that is to be monitored, selected the "Change Patient" option from the CIS menu.
This will allow a new query to take place using the methods described above.
