摘要： A medical patient is issued an identification device that emits a first wireless signal providing a patient identification. A plurality of data collectors are placed at different locations in a medical facility to receive the first wireless signal when the patient is nearby. A separate patient event record is generated whenever one of the data collectors receives the first wireless signal and each such record contains the patient identification, time of receipt, and identification of the receiving data collector. The plurality of patient event records are analyzed to derive a report about activity of the patient within the medical facility. For example the report may indicate bathroom activity of the patient or how far and often the patient walked around the medical facility. The reports are useful to monitor and evaluate the patient's medical condition, recovery and security.

摘要： A monitoring system in a medical facility provides an identification device to a patient and a data acquisition device to a health-care worker. The identification device wirelessly emits a first signal that identifies the patient and the data acquisition device emits a second signal. A determination is made in response to the first signal and the second signal, whether the health-care worker is absent from being near the patient. For example, absence of the health-care worker is determined when a data reader receives only the first signal. This system detects when a patient requiring continuous observation is not in the presence of a health-care worker. In that case, an alarm message is sent to supervisory personnel.
