In described embodiments, a data collection device receives signals from one or more patient monitoring devices, the signals representing patient data and other vital signs measured at a patient. The data collection device employs statistical quality algorithms to track irregular behavior and out-of-bound events, the behavior and events either being pre-set, adaptively set, or otherwise defined within pre-determined limits. The data collection device communicates alerting signals to a caregiver's handheld device when the irregular behavior and out-of-bound events occur. The alerting signals contain information related to the patient data, irregular behavior and out-of-bound events, thereby allowing a caregiver to take appropriate action.
