Chapter 9 – Clinical Information System
Introduction
The CIS Communication Module when attached to a Prism or Prism SE Patient Monitor, allows
for the remote gathering of patient vital signs and data, and automatically recording them into the
patient(s) records on a remote computer system. This is performed by connecting the CIS
Communication Module to the user’s Clinical Information System via the Local Area Network
(Ethernet) or via an RS-232 system.
With the RS-232 system, virtually all information displayed on the monitor is available for serial
transmission, including parameter values, alarm status, leads status, remote status, and waveform
information.
Operation
This section discusses the operation and interaction between bedside monitors equipped with a
CIS Communication Module and the hospital’s Clinical Information System (CIS).
The primary purpose of the CIS Communication Module is to transmit vital signs to the CIS at
user-selectable intervals for the purpose of automating the vital sign collection process. In
addition, the CIS Communication Module includes numerous features to maximize the reliability
and flexibility of the automated charting process. Many of these advanced features are made
possible by two-way communication between the CIS Communication Module and the hospital’s
CIS and Admit/Discharge/Transfer (ADT) systems – which permits data obtained from these
hospital information systems such as patient name and ID to be displayed on the MDE monitors
at the point of care.
CIS information is displayed in two areas on the bedside monitor (see following illustration). The
top portion of the display is used to indicate the status of the connection to the CIS as well as
patient name and ID. The Trace 2 waveform area is used to display patient demographic data
obtained from the hospital’s ADT system and is also used to present the user with a list of
potential CIS functions (CIS menu). The desired function is selected by pressing the appropriate
softkey located at the bottom of the display. Additional details regarding these features are listed
in the next section.
