System and method for analyzing medical treatment data
First Claim
1. A system for analyzing medical treatment data associated with medical treatments for a plurality of patients to determine a medical treatment guideline based on actual treatment of a plurality of patients, and for updating at least one medical device that is in communication with the system with the guideline, the system comprising:
- a memory for storing medical treatment data associated with medical treatments actually delivered to a plurality of patients, the medical treatment data including a plurality of treatment parameters for each of the plurality of patients and a treatment parameter value associated with each treatment parameter; and
a processor operatively connected to the memory and configured to compile from the medical treatment data a plurality of treatment parameter values associated with a selected treatment parameter, analyze the compiled treatment parameter values, and determine a medical treatment guideline in accordance with the analysis, the medical treatment guideline representing acceptable values for the selected treatment parameter, and to automatically supply the medical device with at least one revised treatment guideline.
