1. An automated data processing system comprising the steps of:
- comparing patient characteristics with a patient data set and obtaining a result therefrom;
comparing wound characteristics with a wound characteristics data set and obtaining a result therefrom; and
comparing said patient characteristic result and said wound characteristic result with indicia connected to a library of treatment routines to generate a proposed treatment routine.

Abstract
A system for improving wound treatment data management has been developed. The system evaluates relevant wound and patient characteristics to generate a proposed treatment routine. The system also evaluates the ongoing treatment of the wound and may generate alarm output, suggestions to health care providers, or proposed modifications to the treatment routine. In addition, the invention may also generated automated orders for such items as consumable treatment components. The system may also be used to evaluate financial considerations and implications of both initial and modified treatment routines.

19. An automated data processing system comprising the steps of:
-
comparing patient characteristics with a patient data set and obtaining a result therefrom;
comparing wound characteristics with a wound characteristics data set and obtaining a result therefrom;
updating said data sets with more recent data as desired thereby creating current data sets;
determining the most current data set for data;
updating the patient data result using the most current patient data set;
updating the wound characteristic result using the most current wound data set;
comparing said patient characteristic result and said wound characteristic result with indicia connected to a library of treatment routines to generate a selection of proposed treatment routines;
evaluating the selected proposed treatment routines in relation to selected criteria;
generating output wherein said proposed treatment routines are ranked in relation to said criteria. - View Dependent Claims (20)
