1. An electronic patient monitoring system comprising:
an active wireless system including a micro-cellular network, the active wireless system including a monitor configured to detect intensity of use, the active wireless system configured to allocate channel frequencies in accordance with the detected intensity of use of an area by directing additional channel frequencies to the area;
a monitoring-server computer configured to retrieve physiological data of a patient from a database computer;
a tablet configured to operatively communicate with the monitoring-server computer to receive and locally store the physiological data of the patient received from the monitoring-server computer;
an infusion pump configured to infuse the patient with a medication; and
a smart phone in operative communication with the tablet, wherein the smart phone is configured to access the physiological data of the patient directly from the tablet without accessing the monitoring-server computer, wherein the monitoring-server computer, the tablet, and the smart phone are configured to communicate with each other over the micro-cellular network enabling the tablet to remain in communication with the monitoring-server computer while being mobile within a facility, wherein the smart phone is configured to display the physiological data of the patient and editable default values next to a treatment order of the medication with an option to send the treatment order to the infusion pump and an option to view a reference of detailed information including information about the medication, the smart phone is configured to instruct the infusion pump to treat the patient with the medication via the micro-cellular network when the smart phone receives user input to treat the patient and the infusion pump is configured to execute treatment of the patient upon receipt of instruction from the smart phone, the smart phone configured to display the reference when the smart phone receives user input to view the reference.
