Abstract: The invention provides a system for notifying intended recipients, such as clinicians, about information or events of a medical enterprise, such as a hospital. The system includes an information processing system for receiving information as received information. A database stores the received information as stored information. A clinical event monitor employs the stored information for determining an event and generating a responsive message. A plurality of communication channels, such as e-mail or pager communication channels, may be employed to communicate the message. A notifier function cooperates with the clinical event monitor and selects one or more of the communication channels to communicate the message as a function of the type of message and a user's preference for one or more communication channels to communicate that message.
