The present specification discloses systems and methods for patient monitoring using a multitude of display regions, at least two of which have the capability to simultaneously display real time patient waveforms and vital statistics as well as provide display for local and remote software applications. In one example, a primary display shows real time patient waveforms and vital statistics while a customizable secondary display shows trends, cumulative data, laboratory and radiology reports, protocols, and similar clinical information. Additionally, the secondary display can launch local and remote applications such as entertainment software, Internet and email programs, patient education software, and video conferencing applications. The dual display allows caregivers to simultaneously view real time patient vitals and aggregated data or therapy protocols, thereby increasing hospital personnel efficiency and improving treatment, while not compromising the display of critical alarms or other data.

A standardized continuing patient education (CPE) method offers certification and incentives in exchange for sustained health status improvement and continuation of educational learning. The CPE method may create the foundations for developing an innovative method for validating individual accountability and responsibility for patients with chronic illness. The CPE method of delivery may be consistent and taught by health experts having advanced degrees. Certification and renewals through the CPE program may support sustainable self-care practices and subsequent favorable health outcomes. Reward mechanisms may be set up to provide rewards as a result of adopting responsibility and accountability for poor health practices. The CPE concept may foster patients with chronic illnesses or conditions to adopt self-care behaviors that translate to a reward mechanism over an extended demonstration of favorable health outcomes.
