First Claim
1. A method of clinically interpreting and reviewing patient data, the method comprising:
- collecting a set of physiological data from each of a plurality of patients;
triaging the set of physiological data from each of the plurality of patients to determine whether any of the plurality of patients need clinical attention and whether the set of physiological data for any of the plurality of patients has not been collected; and
screening those of the plurality of patients that did not have the set of physiological data collected; and
forwarding a set of screening data to a skilled medical personnel when the screening data indicates that one of the plurality of patients needs clinical attention.

Abstract
The method and system improves the efficiency of the use of trained medical personnel in treating monitored patients. Specifically, this efficiency is improved in remote chronic disease monitoring. The method and system incorporates a pool of call screeners to contact and screen remote patients that have not submitted their data. Depending on the results of the screening, the patient may require assistance from skilled medical personnel and be routed to such personnel. Alternative embodiments may screen all remote patients without first collecting physiological data. A preferred embodiment will include a means for the patient to provide feedback to the caseworker or the skilled medical personnel.
