Problems solved by technology

[0003] As the amount of information captured by medical devices increases, so does the complexity of using the devices
This complexity extends to how to display the data to the user
In some interfaces, the amount of data presented can work and make important information difficult to understand, especially when viewing the display from a distance
Specifically, certain monitored values ​​and associated parameters and parameter settings may be difficult to display and / or select, and may require a relatively large number of selections to navigate to a particular parameter or parameter in a displayed menu due to the number of parameters required to be selected. parameter setting
Also, may provide limited space for navigation features on the display

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Examples of ambulatory care environments can include hospitals, clinics, managed care facilities, and other locations where medical care is provided. Medical personnel in ambulatory care environments are able to access portals using vital sign monitoring devices, vital sign displays, personal computing devices, and electronic medical records. Medical personnel and providers are often required to record a patient's vital signs and enter those vital signs into the patient's electronic medical record. Currently, providers must perform vital sign measurements, memorize the measurements, and then enter those measurements into one or more computing devices, which may or may not be directly linked to the patient's electronic medical record.

[0018] In the context of the present application, a device is disclosed that has a vital signs monitoring feature that allows, by selecting different areas or sub-areas of the display (which display specific parameters or options, which c...

Abstract

A patient monitoring interface of a medical device includes a modifier screen including parameter selection regions having a predetermined size. At least one of the plurality of parameter selection regions includes parameter setting option subregions. A total set of parameter setting options includes a default subset of parameter setting options and a secondary subset of parameter setting options. In a primary display mode, the parameter selection region displays the default subset of parameter setting options in the predetermined number of parameter setting option subregions and an indicator region, with the secondary subset of parameter setting options not displayed. The indicator region is selectable to cause display of one or more of the secondary subset of parameter setting options in one or more of the parameter setting option subregions in place of a corresponding one or more of the default subset of parameter setting options.
