    A 1971 computer-assisted patient monitoring system at Westminster Hospital streamlined fluid balance and cardiovascular measurements. Its user-oriented design aided nurses, improving patient care through automated data and graphical displays.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Early computer-assisted patient monitoring systems aimed to enhance clinical data management.
    • Traditional nursing documentation relied on manual charting, which could be time-consuming and prone to errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development and features of a novel computer-assisted patient monitoring system.
    • To evaluate the system's utility in assisting nursing staff with daily tasks and patient care.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a system integrating fluid balance data input via keyboards.
    • Automatic monitoring of cardiovascular measurements from standard bedside equipment.
    • Provision of graphical and hard copy outputs for bedside patient care assistance.
