Abstract
A computer implemented medical event notification system and method for a healthcare facility is provided. The system includes at least one user computer and at least one computer server operatively coupled for communication over a computer network. The computer server operates at least a portion of a medical notification software tool and has access to a patient record database containing a plurality of patient records. The method includes a step of monitoring the plurality of patient records by the medical notification software tool for at least one predetermined event; and includes one or both of the following steps: (a) upon detecting the occurrence of the at least one predetermined event by the medical notification software tool, automatically pushing a notification of the detected predetermined event occurrence to an authorized user of the medical information even notification system; and (b) upon detecting the non-occurrence of the at least one predetermined event by the medical notification software tool in a predetermined window of time, automatically pushing a notification of the detected predetermined event non-occurrence to an authorized user of the medical information event notification system. A critical element to this system and method is that the notification is automatically “pushed” to the authorized user; that is, the authorized user is not required to query the system for the occurrence or non-occurrence of the event.
