Step 4: Multiple Patient Monitoring through Dashboard
In this Step, the procedure for using the Dashboard to monitor patients is discussed. The Dashboard is
used to provide summary information on all patients in range of the hand-held device. The list is shown
in alphabetical order except for RS Devices in an alarm state or with status information, which will be
shown at the top of the list. RS Devices which are given priority status will display above those without
priority status.
To view multiple patients:
1.
Launch RS App. A list of all nearby monitored patients will be displayed. As new devices are
discovered they will be added to the list.
2.
To view detailed information on a patient, tap on the patient’s ID.
3.
If there are more than four patient IDs available, the patient list must be scrolled through to
view all patients.
