A wireless patient monitor is adapted to communicate with any one of plural medical telemetry networks, each having one or more central stations, where each network is configured to communicate via wireless communications using one of multiple different communications settings. The monitor includes one or more sensor inputs for receiving vital signs data from a patient, a wireless transceiver; and a controller coupled to receive the vital signs data via the one or more sensor inputs and to communicate with a network via the transceiver. The monitor also includes a display device and is controllable by the controller to automatically display a notification to a user of the monitor upon establishing communications with the at least one central station. There is also a method of monitoring a patient and a wireless medical telemetry system.

A wireless medical telemetry system includes at least one wireless patient monitor configured to collect patient vital signs data, and at least one central station adapted to establish communications with the at least one patient monitor via a wireless transceiver, and to receive the patient vital signs data from the at least one patient monitor. The at least one patient monitor is operable by a user to transmit an end-communications signal to the at least one central station, and the at least one central station is configured to terminate the communications with the at least one patient monitor in response to the end-communications signal. A method for monitoring a patient includes the steps of (i) establishing wireless communications between a patient monitor and a wireless transceiver connected to a remote central station, (ii) collecting, at the patient monitor, vital signs data from a patient and communicating the vital signs data to the central station via the wireless transceiver, (iii) communicating an end-communications signal from the patient monitor to the central station, and (iv) terminating the communications by the central station in response to the end-communications signal. There is also a system for monitoring the vital signs of a patient from a selected remote location.

A medical monitoring system includes a central station adapted to receive vital signs data concerning a plurality of patients, and one or more transmitter/receivers associated with the central station. At least one patient monitor is configured to monitor a particular one of the plurality of patients by collecting vital signs data from the particular patient, and configured to establish communications with the central station and communicate the collected vital signs data to the central station via the one or more transmitter/receivers. The at least one patient monitor is operable by a user to identify the particular patient from the plurality of patients, and to inform the central station of the identity of the particular patient. The central station is configured to associate the vital signs data received from the at least one patient monitor with the particular patient. The system, transmitter/receivers and at least one patient monitor may be wireless or wired.
