3. Edit or enter patient data:
a. Select Edit Name & MRN , select the field to be edited and enter the data.
Entering the Second Id in addition to the Medical Record Number allows a
flexible use of local patient identification methods, like the use of BSN in the
Netherlands. The
Second Id has no network support, so only the Medical
Record Number can be used for searching and retrieving patient data from
the network. Both Medical Record Number and Second Id will appear in the
printouts.
b. Select Edit All Demographics and select values for different types of data.
If 12SL ECG with ACI-TIPI or 12RL 12 lead ECG is licensed, also the Ethnicity
selection is available.
You can edit Height and Weight also from the lists on the Patient tab.
c. If the combination monitoring mode Monitor or Telemetry has been enabled
in the configuration, the ECG Source selection is available. You can select
the ECG Source from a list containing the monitor and available telemetry
transmitter(s). When you confirm the source selection with Confirm , the
connection between the selected transmitter and monitor will be established
(telemetry transmitter selected), or the patient is discharged from the telemetry
transmitter (monitor selected).

About the roving functionality
Roving functionality allows you to move, or rove, the monitor to fit the patient’s acuity
needs, rather than moving the patient to a monitored room. When you move the
monitor to a new location in the CARESCAPE Network, you can update the unit and/or
bed names from drop-down lists, or add new names manually. Available selections
depend on what has been allowed in configuration.
This functionality is also available in the combination monitoring mode for roving
between beds. In other words, you can move the monitor or a patient wearing a
telemetry transmitter from one location to another and update the information
accordingly.
These settings are configured through Monitor Setup > Default Setup > Care Unit
Settings > Roving and they are password protected.
