Automated medical safety monitoring systems and methods
First Claim
1. A medical surveillance system for monitoring the safety of at least one medical entity, the medical surveillance system comprising:
- at least one database to store information related to the at least one medical entity, the at least one database being periodically updated with current information about the at least one medical entity; and
at least one controller coupled to the database, the at least one controller configured to perform at least one statistical operation on at least a portion of the information stored in the at least one database, the at least one statistical operation being performed periodically so as to generate at least one continuous outcome, the controller configured to trigger an alert when the at least one continuous outcome indicates the occurrence of at least one adverse event associated with the at least one medical entity.

Abstract
In one aspect, a medical surveillance system for monitoring the safety of at least one medical entity is provided. The medical surveillance system comprises at least one database to store information related to the at least one medical entity, the at least one database being periodically updated with current information about the at least one medical entity, and at least one controller coupled to the database, the at least one controller configured to perform at least one statistical operation on at least a portion of the information stored in the at least one database, the at least one statistical operation being performed periodically so as to generate at least one continuous outcome, the controller configured to trigger an alert when the at least one continuous outcome indicates the occurrence of at least one adverse event associated with the at least one medical entity.

18. A method of monitoring the safety of at least one medical entity, the method comprising acts of:
-
obtaining periodically updated information relating to the safety of the at least one medical entity;
periodically performing at least one statistical operation on at least a portion of the information to generate at least one continuous outcome; and
generating an alert when the at least one continuous outcome indicates the occurrence of at least one adverse event associated with the at least one medical entity. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A computer readable medium encoded with a program for execution on at least one processor, the program, when executed on the at least one processor, performing a method of monitoring the safety of at least one medical entity, the method comprising acts of:
-
obtaining periodically updated information relating to the safety of the at least one medical entity;
periodically performing at least one statistical operation on at least a portion of the information to generate at least one continuous outcome; and
generating an alert when the at least one continuous outcome indicates the occurrence of at least one adverse event associated with the at least one medical entity. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
