Zusammenfassung:	A patient care distribution and management system is provided. The system allows for the seamless roaming of a patient within a particular medical facility or between medical facilities. The system includes body area network (BAN) management agents which process data within specified parts of a defined operational remit of a medical facility, a BAN hub agent associated with each patient that communicates with a BAN management agent and stores patient data delivered thereto by medical telemetry monitor diagnostic devices (MTMDDs) connected to each patient. The essential feature of the system is that the BAN hub agent has relatively little processing power compared to the BAN management agent which feeds it with patient monitoring rules to monitor the patient condition and to enable the BAN hub agent to set off alarms etc. as required.
