SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRIORITIZING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
First Claim
1. A process for forming an index disorder for use in automated patient care, comprising:
- storing sets of device measures regularly recorded by a medical device for a patient under automated patient care, a set of reference baseline measures recorded during an initial observation period, and indicator thresholds corresponding to quantifiable physiological measures of pathophysiologies; and
retrieving the device measures and the reference baseline measures from the database;
iteratively processing the device measures and the reference baseline measures with the indicator thresholds and identifying multiple near-simultaneous disorders from said iterative processing, wherein each iterative loop of the iterative process comprises analyzing the device measures and the reference baseline measures for changes occurring over time; and
analyzing and ordering the changes and the multiple-near simultaneous disorders occurring over time; and
identifying the index disorder based on said analyzing and ordering.

Abstract
A system for ordering and prioritizing multiple health disorders for automated remote patient care is presented. A database maintains information for an individual patient by organizing monitoring sets in a database, and measures relating to patient information previously recorded and derived on a substantially continuous basis into a monitoring set in the database. A server retrieving and processing the monitoring includes a comparison module comparing stored measures from each of the monitoring sets to other stored measures from another of the monitoring sets with both stored measures relating to the same type of patient information, and an analysis module ordering each patient status change in temporal sequence and categorizing health disorder candidates by quantifiable physiological measures, and identifying the health disorder candidate having the pathophysiology substantially corresponding to the patient status changes which occurred substantially least recently as the index disorder.
