Medical Information Event Manager
First Claim
1. An event management system, comprising:
- an event manager configured to be executed by at least one electronic device, said event manager comprising;
a statement customizer for constructing one or more user-defined statements which define parameter-based tests or conditions, each of said statements configured to test at least one logical criterion; and
an event customizer for defining an event detection process and associating a set of said statements with said event detection process, and for defining an event test condition and at least one event action, wherein the set of statements provides information for a scheduled execution of the detection process.

Abstract
An event management system and method detects the occurrence of events as a function, at least in part, of information and data gathered from monitoring one or more patients with a medical information system. Event detection processes can be defined and then triggered to cover any of a variety of circumstances. For instance, event detection processes can be defined that, when triggered, indicate that a certain patient (or patients) would make a suitable candidate for that clinical trial, a patient is a candidate for a certain type of treatment, or hospital resources are being utilized in a certain manner. That is, such events may relate to the efficiency or inefficiency in use of certain resources, or such events may concern usage under certain circumstances.

19. A method of establishing event management, said method comprising:
-
interacting by an electronic device with a medical information system, including receiving patient data from the medical information system; enabling construction of one or more statements which define parameter-based tests or conditions, each of said statements configured for testing at least one logical criterion; and defining, the electronic device, an event detection process, including associating a set of said statements with said event detection process, and defining an event test condition and at least one event action, wherein the set of statements provides information for a scheduled execution of the detection process. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

34. A system comprising:
-
a graphical user interface; one or more devices for storing or collecting patient data; and a processor being configured to process instructions that causes the graphical user interface to; receive an input that defines statements associated with parameter-based tests or conditions, each statement being configured to test at least one logical criterion; enable the user to identify an event to be detected in association with the patient data, wherein enabling the user to identify the event includes defining an event detection process associated with a set of the defined statements; receive an input that defines a scheduled time for executing the event detection process; and display to the user one or more messages associated with the execution of the event process. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a user interface, an input that defines statements associated with parameter-based tests or conditions, each statement being configured to test at least one logical criterion; enabling the user to interact with the user interface to identify an event to be detected in association with patient data stored or collected by one or more devices, wherein enabling the user to identify the event includes defining an event detection process associated with a set of the defined statements; receiving, by the user interface, an input that defines a scheduled time for executing the event detection process; and displaying, by the user interface, one or more messages associated with the execution of the event process.

47. A computer program product tangibly stored on a computer readable storage device, the computer program product comprising instructions for causing a processor to:
-
receive, by a user interface, an input that defines statements associated with parameter-based tests or conditions, each statement being configured to test at least one logical criterion; enable the user to interact with the user interface to identify an event to be detected in association with patient data stored or collected by one or more devices, wherein enabling the user to identify the event comprises defining an event detection process associated with a set of the defined statements; receive, by the user interface, an input that defines a scheduled time for executing the event detection process; and display, at the user interface, to the user one or more messages associated with the execution of the event process.
