Systems, Methods, and Computer Program Product for Improved Management of Medical Procedures for Patients on Medical Protocols
First Claim
1. A method for adapting management of medical procedures for a patient assigned to a medical protocol, the method comprising:
- receiving periodically at a management process a report of a patient'"'"'s monitored physiological data and confirmed medical procedures from a patient'"'"'s monitoring station;
adapting an instruction for management of the medical procedures for the patient in response to an evaluation of the patient'"'"'s periodic reports; and
sending the adapted instruction from the management process to the patient'"'"'s monitoring station or to selected other monitoring stations based on the evaluation.

Abstract
Techniques are described for improved monitoring and control of a patient'"'"'s physiologic status, such as blood glucose control according to a protocol for use in a patient care unit, such as an intensive care unit. Instructions to medical staff are adapted to factor in variations in responses to protocol recommendations. For example, a patient'"'"'s physiological data as a result of a blood analysis is submitted as input to a program. An instruction for a medical procedure for the patient in response to the physiological data is automatically provided by the program. A confirmation response that the medical procedure has been accomplished and results of following the medical procedure are requested by the program. The time when the medical procedure was accomplished and the results of following the medical procedure are evaluated by the program to determine whether to adapt a subsequent instruction.

12. A system for monitoring a patient and providing instructions to a medical staff for controlling one or more of a patient'"'"'s physiological parameters, the system comprising:
-
a computing device for running a program to monitor a patient and generate instructions to control a physiological parameter of the patient; a user terminal associated with the patient for monitoring and communicating instructions to the medical staff and for receiving the one or more of the patient'"'"'s physiological parameters from the medical staff which are then sent to the computing device; a blood sampling and analysis means for providing an analysis of a blood sample taken from the patients the analysis in a suitable form to be submitted to the computing device; and a medication administering device adjustable for dosage utilized for controlling one or more doses of medication related to the patient'"'"'s physiological parameter. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
