Abstract
Software, or a pathway assistant, can be utilized to facilitate assessment or treatment recommendations of a remotely monitored patient and can run in the background. The pathway assistant, which searches data for key information and creates pathways, provides an automated system that standardized the assessment, treatment, management and evaluation of patients being monitored. The pathways generated allow a user, nurse, or caregiver, to follow precise instructions and assessing a patient'"'"'s condition. The pathways software limits human error associated with assessment and provide more cost-effective management for large patient populations thus providing an advantage over prior art. Collecting data for the software may be performed by an interactive voice response (IVR) system. The patient may dial the IVR system or the IVR system may be configured to call the patient at predefined times.
