Design and implementation of wireless patient monitoring system for postoperative patients on general care floor
1Department of IT Planning, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea.
Background:
Postoperative patients on the general care floor (GCF), though no longer in acute danger, remain subject to relapse or other complications. One of the major clues to patient status is to measure the saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO(2)).
Objective:
The objective of this study is to present a framework for Wireless Patient Monitoring System (WPMS) for postoperative patients on the GCF.
Methods:
We designed and implemented a very adaptable WPMS using the existing network infrastructure, in order to recognize any change of condition of postoperative patients on the GCF.
Results:
Unlike the existing pager system, our system not only can inform healthcare professionals of any deterioration of patient condition more quickly but also can help them make decisions more effectively in emergency situations.
Conclusions:
This system, as demonstrated in a case study, both helps to save postoperative patients at risk and improves the nursing process and overall quality of care.
