Abstract
Collecting biometric data from a patient provides numerous opportunities for a care provider to monitor the health of the patient. In one embodiment, the biometric data is used to identify health events that are processed in a workflow that includes a plurality of interconnected processing nodes and queues. In one embodiment, the workflow processes the health events using a priority assigned to the health events. The priority may be assigned based on a severity of the event, the type of the health event, a characteristic of the patient whose biometric data generated the health event, and the like. Each processing node in the event engine may include multiple consumers or threads for processing health events with different priorities. By having more consumers assigned to high priority events, the latency for processing these events in the workflow may be reduced.
