1. A computer based method for assessing risk based upon monitoring medical compliance by a plurality of patients with a corresponding plurality of medical compliance plans comprising:
- inputting information representing said plurality of medical compliance plans for said plurality of patients;
displaying a corresponding medical compliance plan associated with a respective patient;
accepting a corresponding input from said respective patient indicative of compliance by said respective patient with said corresponding medical compliance plan;
assessing said corresponding input from said respective patient indicative of compliance and assigning a corresponding risk value thereto based upon a range of risk values for various degrees of compliance;
repeating inputting, displaying, accepting and assessing for said plurality of patients and compiling a plurality of risk values;
reporting said corresponding risk value to said respective patient, individually reporting risk value to said plurality of patients and compiling and reporting a total risk value for said plurality of patients.

Abstract
The risk monitor, as a computer-based method, program or system, monitors medical compliance by a plurality of patients having a corresponding plurality of medical compliance plans. The plans for each patient are displayed and the system accepts input from the patient indicative and/or heathcare providers of the patient'"'"'s compliance with the plan. The system then assesses or analyzes the input and assigns a corresponding risk value based upon a range of risk values for various degrees of compliance. In addition, the patient'"'"'s lifestyle inputs can be added to determine the risk value. The assessment continues for a plurality of patients thereby providing an indication of the risk value (a total risk value) for a patient, doctor, group of healthcare providers, a clinic or a hospital. By implementing various communication episodes (telephone calls, e-mails, letters), the system seeks to reduce the risk value for a particular patient and for the plurality of patients by altering the communication episodes and monitoring the resulting risk values both individually and as a group.
