1. A patient monitoring system, comprising:
a centralized computer server, wherein the centralized computer server is comprised of a server communication module, a patient database, and a server processor, wherein the patient database is comprised of a full set of patient profiles for a corresponding set of patients being monitored, wherein each of the patient profiles within the full set of patient profiles is comprised of patient profile information, wherein the patient profile information is comprised of biographical information and observation information, and wherein the patient profile information for each one of the patient profiles is correlated to a unique patient identification code within the patient database; and
a monitoring device located remotely from the centralized computer server, wherein the monitoring device comprises a display screen, an input device, a mobile communication module, a computer processor, and a data storage module, wherein the computer processor populates a status board interface on the display screen with patient profile information for at least a partial set of patient profiles received from the patient database when the monitoring device is in operative communication with the centralized computer server at a first time, wherein the computer processor populates the status board interface on the display screen with patient profile information without saving the patient profile information in the data storage module, wherein the input device receives a first selection of one of the patient profiles shown on the status board interface, wherein the computer processor provides the display screen with an observation entry interface in response to the first selection while there is the operative communication, wherein the monitoring device loses communication with the centralized computer server at a second time following the first time and there is no communication link between the server communication module and the mobile communication module for a time period following the second time, and wherein the computer processor and the display screen have none of the patient profile information for any of the patient profiles during the time period following the second time.
