1. A system for monitoring patient cumulative medication intake, comprising:
- at least one repository of information identifying medications and associated cumulative dosage limits for different time periods and for different types of patient;
a monitoring processor for, in response to a detected administration event indicating an additional dosage of a particular medication is to be administered to a particular patient, automatically determining whether a cumulative dosage, including said additional dosage, of said particular medication of said particular patient exceeds a cumulative dosage limit over a time period using information derived from said at least one repository; and
a notification processor for, in response to a determination said cumulative dosage, including said additional dosage, of said particular medication exceeds said cumulative dosage limit, automatically initiating generation of an alert message for communication to at least one selected healthcare worker using a selected communication method, said selected healthcare worker and said selected communication method being identified using predetermined notification configuration information.

Abstract
A system integrates drug cumulative dosage monitoring, clinical information storage and workflow providing clinical notifications and worklists. The system monitors patient cumulative medication intake and includes at least one repository of information identifying medications and associated cumulative dosage limits for different time periods and for different types of patient. A monitoring processor, in response to a detected administration event indicating an additional dosage of a particular medication is to be administered to a particular patient, automatically determines whether a cumulative dosage, including the additional dosage, of the particular medication of the particular patient exceeds a cumulative dosage limit over a time period using information derived from the at least one repository. A notification processor automatically initiates generation of an alert message to at least one healthcare worker using a selected communication method The selected healthcare worker and the selected communication method is identified using predetermined notification configuration information.
