The system allows clinicians using computers anywhere in a large hospital to view physiologic data from patients of the hospital. Each patient is fitted with a set of sensors that measure physiologic properties of the patient (e.g., EKG sensors). The sensors are connected to a transmitter that relays the physiologic data to a central server. The central server comprises a WEB server that supplies basic patient data such as the patient's name and medical history. The central server also comprises a waveform server which supplies the physiologic data, in real-time or near real-time. Workstation, used by a clinician receives the basic patient data from the Web server and the physiologic data from the waveform server, and produces a combined display. The combined display is continuously updated, showing, for example, the patient's EKG.Field of SearchCONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE INDICATING (E.G., TELEMETERING)Plural transmitters Interrogation response Printout or display Human or animal DIAGNOSTIC TESTING Cardiovascular Heart Detecting heartbeat electric signal Via monitoring a plurality of physiological data, e.g., pulse and blood pressure RADIO TELEMETRY TELEPHONE TELEMETRY FEEDBACK TO PATIENT OF BIOLOGICAL SIGNAL OTHER THAN BRAIN ELECTRIC SIGNAL Remotely changing, (e.g., programming, pacer) parameters or operation Communicating with pacer (e.g., telemetry) Control signal storage (e.g., programming) Telemetry or communications circuits Testing or monitoring pacer function With monitoring or testing feature Distributed or remote access Accessing a remote server COMPUTER-TO-COMPUTER PROTOCOL IMPLEMENTING MEANS FOR INTRODUCING OR REMOVING MATERIAL FROM BODY FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES (E.G., MEDICATING, IRRIGATING, ASPIRATING, ETC.)
