COMPLEX ALERT RULES FOR A MEDICAL PERSONNEL ALERT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor; and
a computer-readable medium operably coupled to the processor, the computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to(a) receive values for a plurality of physiological characteristics of a patient;
(b) compare the received values to a complex alert rule associated with a medical condition, wherein the complex alert rule comprises a plurality of alert rules, wherein each alert rule comprises an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the alert rule and a condition priority associated with an urgency of the alert rule, and further wherein the complex alert rule comprises a trigger rule, wherein the trigger rule includes a plurality of rules wherein each rule includes a number of satisfied alert rules for each value of the condition priority;
(c) determine a number of alert rules of the plurality of alert rules that are satisfied for each condition priority of the complex alert rule based on the comparison; and
(d) generate a complex alert if the determined number of alert rules for a condition priority satisfies the trigger rule of the complex alert rule.

Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer-readable medium are provided for generating a complex alert. Values of a plurality of physiological characteristics of a patient are received. The received values are compared to a complex alert rule associated with a medical condition. The complex alert rule includes a plurality of alert rules, wherein each alert rule includes an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the alert rule and a condition priority associated with an urgency of the alert rule. The complex alert rule also includes a trigger rule. The trigger rule includes a plurality of rules wherein each rule includes a number of satisfied alert rules for each value of the condition priority. A number of alert rules of the plurality of alert rules that are satisfied is determined for each condition priority of the complex alert rule based on the comparison. A complex alert is generated if the determined number of alert rules for a condition priority satisfies the trigger rule of the complex alert rule.

12. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
-
(a) receive values of a plurality of physiological characteristics of a patient; (b) compare the received values to a complex alert rule associated with a medical condition, wherein the complex alert rule comprises a plurality of alert rules, wherein each alert rule comprises an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the alert rule and a condition priority associated with an urgency of the alert rule, and further wherein the complex alert rule comprises a trigger rule, wherein the trigger rule includes a plurality of rules wherein each rule includes a number of satisfied alert rules for each value of the condition priority; (c) determine a number of alert rules of the plurality of alert rules that are satisfied for each condition priority of the complex alert rule based on the comparison; and (d) generate a complex alert if the determined number of alert rules for a condition priority satisfies the trigger rule of the complex alert rule. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of generating a complex alert, the method comprising:
-
(a) receiving values of a plurality of physiological characteristics of a patient; (b) comparing, by a processor of a computing device, the received values to a complex alert rule associated with a medical condition, wherein the complex alert rule comprises a plurality of alert rules, wherein each alert rule comprises an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the alert rule and a condition priority associated with an urgency of the alert rule, and further wherein the complex alert rule comprises a trigger rule, wherein the trigger rule includes a plurality of rules wherein each rule includes a number of satisfied alert rules for each value of the condition priority; (c) determining, by a processor of a computing device, a number of alert rules of the plurality of alert rules that are satisfied for each condition priority of the complex alert rule based on the comparison; and (d) generating, by a processor of a computing device, a complex alert if the determined number of alert rules for a condition priority satisfies the trigger rule of the complex alert rule.
