A patient monitoring system includes an identification transmitter that transmits an identification signal associated with a patient and a location tracking system having a plurality of identification receivers arranged in a care facility that receive the identification signal from the identification transmitter, wherein the location tracking system determines a patient location within a care facility based on a location of receipt of the identification signal. The patient monitoring system further includes an activity tracking module executable to receive at least one activity threshold for the patient and the patient location, and to determine a patient activity indicator based on the patient location. The activity tracking module is further executable to generate an activity alert based on a comparison between the patient activity indicator and the activity threshold.

Patient monitoring system and method for activity tracking

A patient monitoring system includes a sensing device configured to measure physiological parameter data from a patient, an identification transmitter that transmits an identification signal, wherein the identification signal is associated with the patient, and a location tracking system having a plurality of identification receivers arranged in a care facility that receive the identification signal from the identification transmitter and determine a patient location within the care facility based on a location of receipt of the identification signal. The patient monitoring system further includes a contextual alarming module that receives the patient location and selects at least one location-specific alarm rule based on the patient location in the care facility. Physiological parameter data is then assessed by the patient monitoring system based on the location-specific alarm rule.
