System and method for patient monitoring using a reference baseline for use in automated patient care
First Claim
1. A system for patient monitoring using a reference baseline for use in automated patient care, comprising:
- a processing module processing one or more reference physiological measures relating to individual patient information recorded during an initial observation period by an implantable medical device into a reference baseline;
an analysis module periodically receiving one or more updated physiological measures regularly recorded by the implantable medical device subsequent to the initial observation period;
a database module storing the reference physiological measures and one or more reference quality of life measures recorded by the individual patient during the initial observation period into a patient care record for the individual patient, and storing the updated physiological measures and one or more updated quality of life measures recorded by the individual patient subsequent to the initial observation period into the patient care record;
a comparison module comparing the updated physiological measures to the reference physiological measures in the reference baseline to generate a patient status indicator identifying any such substantially non-conforming updated physiological measure; and
a quality of life comparison submodule comparing the updated quality of life measures to the reference quality of life measures in the patient care record to generate the patient status indicator identifying any such substantially non-conforming updated quality of life measure.

Abstract
A system and method for patient monitoring using a reference baseline for use in automated patient. One or more reference physiological measures relating to individual patient information recorded during an initial observation period are processed into a reference baseline. One or more updated physiological measures recorded subsequent to the initial observation period are periodically received. The updated physiological measures are compared to the reference physiological measures in the reference baseline to generate a patient status indicator identifying any such substantially non-conforming updated physiological measure.

18. A system for managing a reference baseline of patient information for use in automated patient care, comprising:
-
a processing module processing one or more reference physiological measures regularly recorded by an implantable medical device during an initial observation period, each reference physiological measure being representative of at least one of measured or derived data;
a database module periodically receiving one or more updated physiological measures recorded by the implantable medical device subsequent to the initial observation period, each updated physiological measure being representative of at least one of measured or derived data;
a database storing the reference physiological measures into a reference baseline in a patient care record, storing the updated physiological measures into individual measures sets in the patient care record, storing one or more reference quality of life measures recorded during the initial observation period into the patient care record, and storing one or more updated quality of life measures recorded subsequent to the initial observation period into the patient care record;
a comparison module comparing the updated physiological measures in each individual measures set to the reference physiological measures in the reference baseline and identifying any such updated physiological measure substantially non-conforming to the corresponding reference physiological measure as part of a patient status indicator; and
a quality of life comparison submodule comparing the updated quality of life measures to the reference quality of life measures in the patient care record and identifying any such updated quality of life measure substantially non-conforming to the corresponding reference quality of life measures as part of the patient status indicator. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
