Abstract

An automated method adapted to monitor and analyze patient data includes: receiving patient data from a set of patient monitoring devices; analyzing the patient data based at least partly on a set of evaluation criteria; and generating multiple status reports, each status report based at least partly on the analysis of patient data. A system adapted to collect and analyze patient data includes: multiple measurement devices, each device associated with a particular patient; a server device adapted to receive data from at least one of the measurement devices; and a storage adapted to store the received data. An automated method adapted to evaluate quality of care of patients having a chronic condition includes: receiving patient data; receiving a set of performance metrics; receiving a set of operating procedures; and generating a set of reports based at least partly on an evaluation of the patient data, performance metrics and operating procedures.

Claims

1. An automated method adapted to monitor and analyze patient data, the method comprising:

receiving patient data from a set of patient monitoring devices;

analyzing the patient data based at least partly on a set of evaluation criteria; and

generating a plurality of status reports, each status report based at least partly on the analysis of patient data.

2. The automated method of claim 1, wherein the patient data comprises blood glucose measurements.

3. The automated method of claim 1, wherein the patient data comprises biographical information related to each patient.

4. The automated method of claim 1, wherein the patient data comprises a chronic condition.

5. The automated method of claim 4, wherein the chronic condition is diabetes.

6. The automated method of claim 1 further comprising providing the status reports to a set of caregiving resources.

7. The automated method of claim 1, wherein the evaluation criteria comprises a set of measurement thresholds.

8. A system adapted to collect and analyze patient data, the system comprising:

a plurality of measurement devices, each device associated with a particular patient;

a server device adapted to receive data from at least one of the measurement devices in the plurality of measurement devices; and

a storage adapted to store the received data.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein a set of measurement devices from among the plurality of measurement devices is associated with a care facility.

10. The system of claim 9 further comprising a local server device associated with the care facility, the local server device adapted to communicate among the set of measurement devices and the server device.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the particular patient is associated with a chronic condition.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the chronic condition is diabetes.

13. The system of claim 8 further comprising a user device associated with the particular patient, wherein a set of measurement devices from among the plurality of measurement devices is associated with the user device.

14. The system of claim 8 further comprising at least one 3^rd-party device that is able to communicate with the server device.

15. An automated method adapted to evaluate quality of care of patients having a chronic condition, the method comprising:

receiving patient data from a set of patient monitoring devices;

receiving a set of performance metrics associated with the patient data;

receiving a set of operating procedures associated with a caregiving facility; and

generating a set of reports based at least partly on an evaluation of the patient data, the set of performance metrics and the set of operating procedures.

16. The automated method of claim 15 further comprising generating an updated set of operating procedures based on the set of reports.

17. The automated method of claim 15 further comprising generating an updated set of performance metrics based on the set of reports.

18. The automated method of claim 15, wherein the set of reports comprises a well-managed trend chart.

19. The automated method of claim 15, wherein the patient data comprises a set of blood glucose measurements.

20. The automated method of claim 19, wherein the chronic condition is diabetes.
