1. A system for alert condition management in an automated patient management system, comprising:
- a device for retrieving patient data from an origination source and evaluating the patient data for occurrence of an alert condition;
a classifier classifying the alert condition based on the origination source and assigning the alert condition along a continuum comprising adverse outcome potential versus medical intervention impact potential;
a manager managing the alert condition by assigning a disposition, wherein the disposition is based on relative placement of the alert condition along the continuum, severity of the alert condition, and a condition management state, wherein the condition management state is selected from the group consisting of whether the alert condition is pre-existing but has not been addressed, prioritization of the alert condition from among a plurality of alert conditions, and combinations thereof, wherein the alert condition of a pre-existing alert condition is escalated if the alert condition has not been addressed; and
a communicator determining whether the assigned disposition is actionable and, when actionable, communicating an alert notification over a selectable mode of communication.

Abstract
A system and method for providing synergistic alert condition processing in an automated patient management system is presented. An alert condition is classified along a continuum that includes adverse outcome potential versus medical intervention impact potential. The alert condition is managed by assigning a disposition based on relative placement of the alert condition along the continuum. An alert notification is communicated over a selectable mode of communications and is conditioned upon the assigned disposition being actionable.
