As technology improves, medical care becomes more complex, and nurses must continue to look for new and better ways to provide optimal patient care. The comprehensive monitoring system described here provides a timely, organized, and flexible system to handle patient data. This information can be used in a variety of ways to benefit all levels of health care providers. ⋯ The system works for the nurse to allow more time and attention to be spent on the patients and less on the paperwork. It is also a powerful tool for medical research. All of these contribute to the goal of providing, and continually improving, the highest quality care to the patient.
