Medical information event manager
First Claim
1. An event management system, comprising:
- an event manager configured to he executed by at least one electronic device, said event manager comprising;
a statement customizer configured to construct 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;
an event customizer configured to define an event detection process and associate a set of said statements with said event detection process, and configured to define 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;
an analyzer, configured to apply said set of statements to patient data obtained from a medical information system and to determine satisfaction of said test condition, as a function of satisfaction of one or more criterion of said set of statements; and
an activator, configured to initiate said at least one event action in response to said satisfaction of said test condition.

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.

15. 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, by the electronic device, 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; defining, by 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; establishing, by the electronic device, an analyzer configured for applying said set of statements to received patient data and for determining satisfaction of said event test condition, as a function of satisfaction of one or more criterion of said set of statements; and establishing, by the electronic device, an activator configured for initiating said at least one event action in response to said satisfaction of said event test condition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
