Healthcare Case Study: The Doctor Will B.R.M.S. You Now (New York Times article)
Vanderbilt has started funneling data gathered from patient monitors, its pharmacy and its doctor paging system into a central location. As a result, it can detect issues like sudden changes in a patient's condition and fire off a page to a doctor, requesting an immediate response. In addition, its rules engine can alert nurses and doctors to potentially harmful combinations of drugs issued by the pharmacy.

A couple of years ago, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies released some sobering findings: At least 1.5 million people are hurt by medication mistakes every year in the United States, costing hospitals about $3.5 billion in additional treatment expenses.
Technology companies claim to have a means of lowering these figures, and it's called B.R.M.S.
B.R.M.S. stands for Business Rule Management System. The broad phrase covers policies set up by businesses to automate some day-to-day technology functions.
For example, airlines use this type of technology to monitor how many flights an individual takes and then to make sure that frequent fliers receive promotions and upgrades. Insurance companies use similar processes to provide quotes and automatic approvals online, allowing software systems to approve coverage for people who match certain criteria.
