Abstract
Nowadays many hospitals use clinical information
systems (CIS) to improve patient health care and
information management. CIS retrieves and manages
patient information such as patient administration,
laboratory data and medications. Specialized CIS,
especially Intensive Care Unit (ICU) CIS, needs to
handle more additional information. How to process
and make use of this enormous amount of physiologic
data generated by ICU is a significant topic in CIS
design.
We have designed and implemented a real-time
clinical alerting system for ICU, which executes alert
algorithms on the database records of 63 ICU
physiologic parameters. The user can create various
alert rules with our rule editor to supervise the values
or trends of these parameters. When an alert
condition on a specific patient is detected, the system
notices the clinicians in charge with mobile phones
or pagers. With this functionality, up-to-date patient
information is provided for clinicians’ use in judging
the patient’s condition and making treatment
decisions.
