Abstract

The method and system includes patient sensing systems configured to collect a plurality of physiological data sets and treatment data sets from a patient. A user selects an information set to be viewed such as a pre-defined condition or common medication combination. The method and system constructs a trended view of the information set over a period of time, wherein the trended view includes a pre-defined combination of the plurality of physiological and treatment data sets for a particular information set. The trended view can then be displayed to assist the user with medication titration.

Claims

1. A method of facilitating medication titration, the method comprising:

collecting a plurality of physiological data sets and treatment data sets from a patient;

selecting an information set to be viewed; and

constructing a trended view of the information set, wherein the trended view includes a pre-defined combination of the plurality of physiological and treatment data sets for a particular information set.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising displaying a trended view on a graphical user interface.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising administering a treatment action in response to the trended view.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the treatment action includes administering a medication.

5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the treatment action includes ordering a lab analysis.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the information set is based on a particular medical condition.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the information set is based on a common drug mixture.

8. A system for facilitating medication titration, the method comprising:

a monitoring system configured to collect a plurality of physiological data sets and treatment data sets from a patient;

a storage media for storing a computer application; and

a processing unit coupled to the monitoring system and the storage media, and configured to execute the computer application, and further configured to receive the plurality of physiological data sets and treatment data sets from the monitoring system,

wherein when the computer application is executed and a user selects an information set to be viewed, a trended view of the information is constructed and displayed on a graphical user interface, wherein the trended view includes a pre-defined combination of the plurality of physiological and treatment data sets for a particular information set.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the user administers treatment action in response to the trended view.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the treatment action includes administering a medication.

11. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the treatment action includes ordering lab analysis.

12. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the information set is based on a particular medical condition.

13. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the information set is based on a common drug mixture.

14. A method of constructing a trended view for facilitating medication titration, the method comprising:

collecting a plurality of physiological data sets and treatment data sets from a patient;

selecting an information set to be views;

configuring a pre-defined combination of the plurality of physiological and treatment data sets for a particular information set in the trended view; and

displaying the trended view on a graphical user interface such that a user may view the trended view and administer a treatment action to the patient in response to the trended view.
