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 topresent a user interface window to define an alert rule, wherein the user interface window is configured to allow a user to define a first alert value, to define an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the first alert value, and to define an application type indicator for the alert rule indicating an application group to which to apply the alert rule, wherein the application group is selected from the group consisting of a specific patient and physician pair, a type of physician practice area, and a type of medical personnel;
receive the first alert value, the indicator, and the application type indicator;
receive a value of the physiological characteristic of the patient;
receive a characteristic indicator of the physiological characteristic of the patient;
receive a group indicator associated with the patient;
identify the received first alert value by comparing the received characteristic indicator to the indicator;
compare the received value to the identified first alert value and the received group indicator to the application type indicator; and
generate an alert based on the comparison.

Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer-readable medium are provided for generating an alert based on a physiological characteristic of a patient. A user interface window is configured to allow a user to define a first alert value, an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the first alert value, and an application type indicator for the alert rule indicating a group for which to apply the alert rule. A value and a characteristic indicator of the physiological characteristic of the patient are received. A group indicator associated with the patient is received. The received first alert value is identified by comparing the received characteristic indicator to the indicator. The received value is compared to the identified first alert value, and the received group indicator is compared to the application type indicator. An alert is generated based on the comparison.

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 present a user interface window to define an alert rule, wherein the user interface window is configured to allow a user to define a first alert value, to define an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the first alert value, and to define an application type indicator for the alert rule indicating an application group to which to apply the alert rule, wherein the application group is selected from the group consisting of a specific patient and physician pair, a type of physician practice area, and a type of medical personnel; receive the first alert value, the indicator, and the application type indicator; receive a value of the physiological characteristic of the patient; receive a characteristic indicator of the physiological characteristic of the patient; receive a group indicator associated with the patient; identify the received first alert value by comparing the received characteristic indicator to the indicator; compare the received value to the identified first alert value and the received group indicator to the application type indicator; and generate an alert based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
-
present a user interface window to define an alert rule, wherein the user interface window is configured to allow a user to define a first alert value, to define an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the first alert value, and to define an application type indicator for the alert rule indicating an application group to which to apply the alert rule, wherein the application group is selected from the group consisting of a specific patient and physician pair, a type of physician practice area, and a type of medical personnel; receive the first alert value, the indicator, and the application type indicator; receive a value of the physiological characteristic of the patient; receive a characteristic indicator of the physiological characteristic of the patient; receive a group indicator associated with the patient; identify the received first alert value by comparing the received characteristic indicator to the indicator; compare the received value to the identified first alert value and the received group indicator to the application type indicator; and generate an alert based on the comparison.

16. A method of generating an alert based on a physiological characteristic of a patient, the method comprising:
-
presenting, by a processor of a computing device, a user interface window to define an alert rule, wherein the user interface window is configured to allow a user to define a first alert value, to define an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the first alert value, and to define an application type indicator for the alert rule indicating an application group to which to apply the alert rule, wherein the application group is selected from the group consisting of a specific patient and physician pair, a type of physician practice area, and a type of medical personnel; receiving, by the computing device, the first alert value, the indicator, and the application type indicator; receiving, by the computing device, a value of the physiological characteristic of the patient; receiving, by the computing device, a characteristic indicator of the physiological characteristic of the patient; receiving, by the computing device, a group indicator associated with the patient; identifying, by the processor, the received first alert value by comparing the received characteristic indicator to the indicator; comparing, by the processor, the received value to the identified first alert value and the received group indicator to the application type indicator; and generating, by the processor, an alert based on the comparison.
