Abstract
A healthcare system includes an event notification system (ENS) and a real-time location (RTL) system. The ENS operates to receive event messages from an event generation device that includes the identity of a clinical event instance, the location of the clinical event source and timestamp information associated with the event, and it operates to receive tag message information that includes the identity of a caregiver associated with the tag, the current location of the tag and timestamp information. Alert message logic operates on the clinical event information and the tag information to determine whether an alert message should be sent to a caregiver currently attending to a patient.
