David likes this new rule so much that he decides to use the just deployed institutional rule as a template. In his general user role, he finds the new rule in the list of institutional templates, makes a personal copy, and then modifies it for some select asthmatics for when they are admitted to the hospital. He modifies the criteria for defining the patients that the rule applies to, adjusts some of the threshold values used within the rules themselves, and then changes the notification mechanisms. For these particular patients, he wants to be emailed immediately with inpatient lab results when they are ready and he requires that he be paged if he fails to review critical lab results in the system within 30 mins of being emailed. He reviews his hospital contact information, makes a quick update to his office phone number, and then selects his pager number for the notification alert. As this rule is a personal rule that by definition can only affect him, he deploys the rule directly into the production system and activates it immediately. Finally, thinking other pulmonologists might like to see the rule, he optionally allows its metadata to be searchable in the template repository as a public, non-institutional rule template.
