Health information system and method
First Claim
1. An information system comprising:
- a monitoring tool, wherein said monitoring tool monitors data related to a patient visit, and wherein said monitoring tool generates a message, said message comprising information related to said patient visit;
a data processing system, wherein said processing system receives said message, wherein said processing system comprises clinical logics, wherein said processing system applies said clinical logics to said message and determines whether intervention is necessary or whether intervention is not necessary, and when intervention is necessary, said processing system generates and routes alert messages to third parties.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a distributed computer-based decision support technology for the healthcare industry. It also relates to a systematic knowledge diffusion technology for the healthcare industry. The tool and methodology packages and distributes computation and data processing software components in both centralized and federated fashions to process medical data in-situ and in real-time, applying the knowledge and best practices that can reflect the most recent advancement of medical sciences. This tool and methodology interacts with a healthcare organization'"'"'s existing internal and external information sources, including those sources of its trading partners, such as practice management systems, health information systems, electronic medical records systems, lab systems, medical reference systems, and existing decision support systems. Due to this sharing of information and the ability to construct longitudinal medical records that was previously not possible, the quality of decision support can be rapidly improved, benchmarked, and standardized across the industry.
