  • Patent number: 8417662
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer-readable medium are provided for adjusting an alert rule used to indicate a status of a patient. A first user interface window is presented. The first user interface window includes a plurality of values of physiological characteristics of a patient. An indicator of a selection of a physiological characteristic presented in the first user interface window is received. A second user interface window is presented. The second user interface window includes a first user interface control configured to allow a user to adjust a first alert value for a first condition priority associated with the selected physiological characteristic. The adjusted first alert value is received and stored as part of an adjusted alert rule. A future alert is generated based on the adjusted alert rule.

  • Patent number: 8416085
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer-readable medium are provided for generating an alert based on a physiological characteristic of a patient. A user interface window is configured to allow a user to define a first alert value, an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the first alert value, and an application type indicator for the alert rule indicating a group for which to apply the alert rule. A value and a characteristic indicator of the physiological characteristic of the patient are received. A group indicator associated with the patient is received. The received first alert value is identified by comparing the received characteristic indicator to the indicator. The received value is compared to the identified first alert value, and the received group indicator is compared to the application type indicator. An alert is generated based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 8374988
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer-readable medium are provided for generating a complex alert. Values of a plurality of physiological characteristics of a patient are received. The received values are compared to a complex alert rule associated with a medical condition. The complex alert rule includes a plurality of alert rules, wherein each alert rule includes an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the alert rule and a condition priority associated with an urgency of the alert rule. The complex alert rule also includes a trigger rule. The trigger rule includes a plurality of rules wherein each rule includes a number of satisfied alert rules for each value of the condition priority. A number of alert rules of the plurality of alert rules that are satisfied is determined for each condition priority of the complex alert rule based on the comparison.
