1. A system for ordering and prioritizing multiple health disorders for automated remote patient care, comprising:

  • a medical device recording measures relating to patient information for an individual patient on a substantially continuous basis;

    a database maintaining a plurality of monitoring sets, wherein the monitoring sets comprise the measures previously recorded by the medical device and measures derived from the previously recorded measures;

    a plurality of health disorder candidates that each comprise quantifiable physiological measures characteristic of a pathophysiology for a health disorder;

    a server processing the monitoring sets in the database, comprising;

    a comparison module comparing a plurality of the measures from the monitoring sets to determine patient status changes; and

    an analysis module ordering the patient status changes in temporal sequence, evaluating each patient status change against the health disorder candidates, and identifying the health disorder candidate with the pathophysiology corresponding to a least-recently occurring patient status change as an index disorder.
