Automated system and method for establishing a patient status reference baseline
First Claim
1. A system for determining a patient wellness status reference baseline, comprising:
- a medical device autonomously monitoring at least one of telemetered and derived physiological measures providing quantitative health care data indicators continuously and directly during an initial observation period;
a database periodically storing and processing the monitored physiological measures;
a reference baseline generated from the stored physiological measures upon completion of the initial observation period indicating an initial patient wellness status; and
the medical device obtaining the physiological measures provided at least one of in situ, exogenous, and proximate to a patient monitoring point.

Abstract
A system and method for determining a reference baseline of individual patient status for use in an automated collection and analysis patient care system is described. A set of collected measures is retrieved from a medical device adapted to be implanted in a patient. The collected device measures set includes individual measures which each relate to patient information recorded by the medical device adapted to be implanted during an initial time period. The collected device measures set is received from the medical device adapted to be implanted over a communications link which is interfaced to a network server. The collected device measures set is stored into a patient care record for the individual patient within a database server organized to store one or more patient care records. The collected device measures set is processed into a set of reference measures. Each reference measure is representative of at least one of measured or derived patient information. The reference measures set is stored into the patient care record as data in a reference baseline indicating an initial patient status.
