1. A method for monitoring a patient, the method comprising:
determining a radio frequency (RF) beacon signal strength of a beacon signal received from a patient identification device worn by a patient;
determining when the RF beacon signal strength of the beacon signal received from the patient identification device equals or exceeds a predefined signal strength threshold;
issuing an action request to a user when the RF beacon signal strength of the beacon signal is equal to or exceeds the predefined signal strength threshold, the action request associated with the patient identification device;
waiting a predetermined time period to receive a response to the action request;
receiving a response to the action request from the user; and
recording the response to the action request that was received.
