A method for generating a complex alert is provided. Values of a plurality of physiological characteristics of a patient are received and compared to a complex alert rule associated with a medical condition. The complex alert rule includes a plurality of alert rules and a trigger rule, wherein each alert rule includes an indicator of a physiological characteristic of a patient associated with the alert rule and a condition priority associated with an urgency of the alert rule. The trigger rule includes a plurality of rules wherein each rule includes a number of satisfied alert rules for each value of the condition priority. A number of alert rules of the plurality of alert rules that are satisfied is determined for each condition priority of the complex alert rule based on the comparison. A complex alert is generated if the determined number of alert rules for a condition priority satisfies the trigger rule of the complex alert rule.
