Scenario

A San Diego VA patient with essential hypertension is traveling in the Phoenix area and is involved in a severe car accident that leaves him severely injured and comatose. He is admitted to Mayo's intensive care unit and is being treated, among other things, with IV XXX for hypertension. He is intubated and being supported by a Draeger ventilator. His vital signs and arterial blood pressure are displayed on the bedside Phillips CR Monitor.  Both devices feed data (waveforms, settings, etc.) to an Event Integration Manager that has components for processing different event types. The device data is analyzed by a Complex Event Processor that extracts a variety of features from the event stream and publishes those features (facts) to an HL7 compliant Event Publication and Subscription Service.
