Abstract
A patient monitoring system includes an identification transmitter that transmits an identification signal associated with a patient and a location tracking system having a plurality of identification receivers arranged in a care facility that receive the identification signal from the identification transmitter, wherein the location tracking system determines a patient location within a care facility based on a location of receipt of the identification signal. The patient monitoring system further includes an activity tracking module executable to receive at least one activity threshold for the patient and the patient location, and to determine a patient activity indicator based on the patient location. The activity tracking module is further executable to generate an activity alert based on a comparison between the patient activity indicator and the activity threshold.
