A key point is that data and time synchronization really needs to be encapsulated at the patient level. All devices associated with a given patient must be communicated in accord with a common time associated with each patient care device–like a vector. NTP is certainly necessary, but it is the alignment of the queries and the results that are essential for clinical documentation and research.

Posted a summary explanation of this on my blog:
