  • Publication number: 20220066838
    Abstract: A multi-tenant nurse call system (MTNCS) has functionality that operates to receive event messages having information corresponding to an event type and device identity that it uses to select a workflow comprised of a set of ordered business rules that when run is designed to respond to the event. The MTNCS can be configured so that different workflows can be triggered by the same type of event message depending upon the identity of the tenant that generated the event message, and it can be configured so that a workflow can be paused or terminated during a period of time during which the MTNCS waits to receive subsequent similar events as the one that triggered the workflow.

  • Publication number: 20200374259
    Abstract: A highly available nurse call system has one or more logic end-points (LEP), each one of which is comprised of two or more pairs of active and standby compute nodes. Each pair of compute nodes are configured to process particular types of messages that are different than each of the other pairs of compute nodes comprising the LEP. Any one of the active compute nodes operate to receive a message over a common communication network, and to send a copy of the message to a location in a persistent storage space that each of the other active compute nodes can examine. Each active compute node periodically examines the persistent storage location looking for a message that it is configured to process.

  • Publication number: 20200074364
    Abstract: A multi-tenant nurse call system (MTNCS) has functionality that operates to receive event messages having information corresponding to an event type and device identity that it uses to select a workflow comprised of a set of ordered business rules that when run is designed to respond to the event. The MTNCS can be configured so that any one or more of a plurality of workflows or devices able to be run by the system can be statically or dynamically configured to operate in association with one or more tenants.
