METHOD, DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETERMINING AN INDICATOR OF GENERAL CLINICAL STATE
First Claim
1. A method for determining a clinical index indicative of a general clinical state of a subject in terms of planned care, the method comprising:
- selecting a set of physiological parameters for a type of care to be applied to a subject, the set of physiological parameter being determined from the subject;
attaching a targeted value range to each physiological parameter belonging to the set of physiological parameters; and
determining a general condition index of the subject as a function of at least two integers belonging to a group including (i) the number of physiological parameters of the set that are currently within respective targeted value ranges, (ii) the number of physiological parameters of the set that are currently outside respective targeted value ranges, and (iii) the total number of physiological parameters in the set of physiological parameters.

Abstract
A method, device, and computer program product for determining a clinical index indicative of a general clinical state of a subject in terms of planned care are disclosed. A set of physiological parameters determined from the subject is selected for the type of care to be applied to the subject. A targeted value range is attached to each physiological parameter belonging to the set and a general condition index of the subject is determined as a function of two integers, where the integers belong to a group including (i) the number of physiological parameters of the set that are currently within respective targeted value ranges, (ii) the number of physiological parameters of the set that are currently outside respective targeted value ranges, and (iii) the total number of physiological parameters in the set of physiological parameters.
