Claim:
A patient monitor, comprising: a medical device interface suitable for operable connection to a sensor; a display configured to display patient physiological data based on input received from the sensor and configured to display a goal indicator comprising a numerical value that indicates a percentage of time that the physiological data was within predetermined goal limits during a goal time frame, wherein the goal indicator comprises a graphical representation of goal posts, and wherein the numerical value is displayed between the goal posts; and a processor configured to analyze the patient physiological data to determine the percentage of time that the patient physiological data was within the predetermined goal limits over the goal time frame, to compare the percentage of time to a goal threshold for a minimum percentage of time that the physiological data was within the predetermined goal limits during the goal time frame, to trigger a goal alarm based on the comparison if the percentage of time is below the goal threshold, and to cause the display to display the patient physiological data and the goal indicator.
