Software for continued evaluation, diagnosis and monitoring of patients on physical therapy
First Claim
1. A computer-program-implemented system for evaluating and monitoring physical therapy patients, the system comprises:
- a patient information database for storing detailed patient information;
a graphical user interface for providing the detailed patient information for viewing by a therapist user and a physician, wherein said graphical user interface allows said therapist user to conduct standardized/uniform patient evaluations over the course of therapy and store the results of those patient evaluations in the patient information database such that both the therapist user and the physician can access and monitor the results of those evaluations over a shared network.

Abstract
A computer-program-implemented system for creating and maintaining physical therapy patient information and displaying the patient information via a graphical user interface comprised of a series of pages which are interconnected/interlinked. The computer-program-implemented system includes the ability to efficiently evaluate therapy patients in a standardized fashion by receiving, recording and storing patient demographic information in a database, selecting a standardized automated evaluation from a previously generated list of several possible standardized automated evaluations (the selected standardized automated evaluation containing a series of questions), recording responses to said series of questions contained in the selected standardized automated evaluation and storing said responses in said database, and assigning a numerical value or score to said evaluation as a function of said recorded and stored responses.

14. A computer-program-implemented graphical user interface comprising:
-
an EVALUATIONS PAGE designed to allow a physical therapist to conduct a selected standardized automated evaluation of a physical therapy patient as a function of the patient'"'"'s injury;
wherein said EVALUATIONS PAGE includes;
a series of questions designed to provide a standardized automated evaluation of the patient'"'"'s injury;
previously recorded responses to said series of questions;
individual numerical values assigned to each of said recorded responses; and
a total numerical value assigned to the standardized automated evaluation, wherein said total numerical value is determined as a function of each of the individual numerical values assigned to each of said recorded responses. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
