Remote command center for patient monitoring relationship to other applications
First Claim
1. A remote command center for providing services to geographically dispersed hospitalized patients comprising:
- a datastore, wherein the datastore comprises patient data elements of the geographically dispersed hospitalized patients;
a network interface, wherein the network interface is adapted to receive monitored data elements from the geographically dispersed hospitalized patients via a network; and
a smart alert module, wherein the smart alert module is adapted to;
receive the monitored data elements from the geographically dispersed hospitalized patients;
access patient data elements indicative of a medical condition associated with each of the geographically dispersed hospitalized patients;
establish patient-specific rules based at least in part on the indicated medical condition associated with each of the geographically dispersed hospitalized patients; and
apply the patient-specific rules continuously using a rules engine adapted to;
select data elements from the monitored data elements and the patient data elements associated with a hospitalized patient;
apply a patient-specific rule associated with the hospitalized patient to the selected data elements;
determine whether the patient-specific rule for the hospitalized patient has been contravened; and
if the patient-specific rule for the hospitalized patient has been contravened, then issue an alert from the remote command center.

Abstract
A remote command center for providing services to geographically dispersed hospitalized patients. A datastore accessible to the remote command center receives patient data from geographically dispersed hospitalized patients. Monitored data elements of geographically dispersed hospitalized patients are also received at the remote command center and stored in the datastore. A smart alert module generates and applies patient specific rules to selected data elements. If a patient-specific rule for a hospitalized patient has been contravened, an alert is issued from the remote command center. A patient care module displays selected data elements of the hospitalized patients at the remote command center. A decision support module applies decision support algorithms to selected data elements of a hospitalized patient and to user input to provide patient care advice. Patient care advice comprises a diagnosis, a method of treatment, and a laboratory protocol. The decision support module may also write orders for medication, laboratory protocols and surgical procedures.

30. A method for providing services to geographically dispersed hospitalized patients from a remote command center comprising:
-
receiving at the remote command center monitored data elements from geographically dispersed hospitalized patients;
accessing patient data elements indicative of a medical condition associated with each of the geographically dispersed hospitalized patients;
establishing patient-specific rules based at least in part on the indicated medical condition associated with each of the geographically dispersed hospitalized patients;
selecting data elements from the monitored data elements associated with the hospitalized patient and the patient data elements associated with the hospitalized patient;
applying a patient-specific rule associated with the hospitalized patient to the selected data elements;
making a determination whether the patient-specific rule for the hospitalized patient has been contravened; and
in the event the patient-specific rule for the hospitalized patient has been contravened, issuing an alert from the remote command center. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
