Abstract

Hospital wards need immediate information about multi-resistant pathogens and contagious viruses in their hospitalized patients. An alert service configurable with Arden-Syntax-based alert definitions passing through an ontology service to complement results from microbiology and virology with high-level terms was implemented as proof of concept. Integration into the University Hospital Vienna's IT landscape is ongoing.
