Re:It can't be networked... (Score 1)

I was recently involved in planning the infrastructure of a new ICU. Usually the ICUs utilize two separate networks: One for the monitoring equipment (plus ventilators, infusion pumps etc) and one for the hospital network (electronic charts, X-rays etc.). Some of the newer patient monitors have access to both networks so you can look at lab results and the X-rays at the bedside. Apart from this, both networks are completely separated.
