Demographics Tab Patient Setup Functions
5 - 2 0070-10-0690-01 Panorama™ Operating Instructions
5.1 Demographics Tab
The Demographics tab (shown in FIGURE 5-1) allows for the entry and modification of
patient demographic information (such as name, age, and weight) and patient settings (such
as care group, pacer, arrhythmia, and ST). The Demographics tab is only accessible when
the selected patient tile is assigned to a monitoring device. The default settings for patient
demographics are defined by the Unit Choices tab, which is described in the “Unit Choices
Tab” on page 9-50.
The Demographics tab is available at the ViewStation (shown in FIGURE 5-3) but is for
viewing purposes only. When a patient tile is assigned at the ViewStation, it will always
display the demographic information of the associated host central station patient tile,
provided the patient tile is in an active state.
The Demographics tab is available at the WorkStation and may be used in the same
manner as it is at the central station. Similar to the central station, demographic changes
made to a patient tile at the WorkStation will be sent to the central station, View Only
Workstation, and bedside monitor (if applicable).
Automatic updating of the demographic information at the remote workstation will also occur
when communication is interrupted, for example:
• The monitoring device is placed in the Standby mode at the central station
• The monitoring device is not communicating with its host central station (Communications
Lost)
• Communication between the host central station and the ViewStation and/or the
WorkStation is lost (Central Communications Lost)
NOTE: The host central station(s) C-LAN configuration settings and
the software installed at the remote location dictates the
functionality available for each patient tile. For additional
information, refer to ‘‘The ViewStation and the
WorkStation’’ on page 2-4.
5.1.1 Communications with the Panorama Gateway
If the central station is communicating with an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system
through the Panorama Gateway, entry of demographic information into the Demographics
tab will differ slightly from the data entry instructions that follow. When using an EMR system,
any changes to patient demographics made at the central station and/or bedside monitor
will not be sent to the EMR system.
For the central station to be recognized by the EMR system, specific demographics content,
referred to as the “Patient Key”, must be entered in the Demographics tab. Each facility
has its own unique "Patient Key." The “Patient Key” consists of the required ID # and,
optionally, one or more of the following Patient Menu demographics fields:
• First Name
•Last Name
• Bed # (may be entered for Telepack devices only)
