System, method, and software for automated detection of predictive events
First Claim
1. A system for the automatic detection and communication of detection of nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial resistance events in a health care environment comprising:
- an input unit that receives nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial resistance related data;
an event detection machine;
a knowledge discovery unit; and
a user interface;
wherein the event detection machine sorts and analyzes the nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial resistance related data to automatically generate alerts for isolates that violate control parameters indicative of a nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial resistance event so that effective antibiotics can be used to properly treat the nosocomial infection;
and wherein the user interface communicates the alerts to a user.

Abstract
A system for the automatic detection and communication of detection of nosocomial infection and/or antimicrobial resistance events in a health care environment includes an input unit that receives nosocomial infection and/or antimicrobial resistance related data, an an event detection machine, and a knowledge discovery unit. The event detection machine sorts and analyzes the nosocomial infection and/or antimicrobial resistance related data to automatically generate alerts for isolates that violate control parameters indicative of a nosocomial infection and/or antimicrobial resistance event and communicates the alert to a user.

14. A method of automatically detecting nosocomial infection and/or microbial resistance events in a healthcare environment comprising the steps of:
- receiving a nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial resistance related data;
developing an event detection machine that automatically sorts and analyzes the nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial related data and automatically generates an alert when an isolate violates control parameters indicative of a nosocomial infection and any microbial resistance; and
communicating the generated alert automatically to a user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

21. A method of detecting nosocomial infection and any associated antimicrobial resistance events in a healthcare environment and communicating any antimicrobial confirmation or re-prescription information comprising the steps of:
-
receiving nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial resistance related data in real-time; sorting and analyzing the nosocomial infection and any antimicrobial resistance related data; determining whether one or more nosocomial infections have any antimicrobial resistance data associated therewith; providing at least one notification with regard to at least one of the patients infected with a particular nosocomial infection that includes information related to the antimicrobial resistance of an antimicrobial currently in use by the at least one patient; and including with the notification at least one of confirming usage of the current antimicrobial or recommending at least one other antimicrobial for treating the particular nosocomial infection.
