title: Computerized physiologic monitoring.
abstract: Computers can offer significant enhancement to the monitoring of the critically ill. Their value is derived from improved vigilance, better charting, and an opportunity to assess practitioner compliance with unit protocols. However, their true value can only be attained when they are integrated into a total information system.
