• Key Concepts: 
  Vital sign values are measurements of a patient’s health status that are taken during a medical examination. In the IS-HMED Clinical System, vital sign values are used to monitor a patient’s condition and to detect any changes in their health. These values include temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the IS-HMED Clinical System, vital sign values can be entered manually or automatically. Manual entry requires the user to enter the values into the system using a keyboard or other input device. Automatic entry requires the user to attach a device such as a thermometer or pulse oximeter to the patient and allow the system to read the values directly from the device. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering vital sign values manually, it is important to double-check that all of the values have been entered correctly. This will ensure that the system is accurately monitoring the patient’s condition. Additionally, when using automatic entry, it is important to make sure that all of the devices are properly connected and functioning correctly.
