1. A method comprising:
- receiving data from an implantable medical device at a data integrator configured to accumulate the data;
storing the data in a central repository communicatively connected to the data integrator;
evaluating the data for accuracy and completeness at a processing system commutatively connected to the central repository;
processing the data according to a knowledge worker specific application that is specifically tailored to place the data into condition for a first knowledge worker;
transmitting at least a portion of the data from the central repository to a distribution/presentation system configured to serve the data according to protocols and formats of a computer system at a first location associated with a first knowledge worker;
transmitting the data from the distribution/presentation system to the first location according to the protocols and formats of the computer system at the first location;
further processing the data at the first location by the computer system, the further processing specific to a use of the data by the first knowledge worker;
generating at the first location additional data that is useful to at least one of a patient associated with the implantable medical device or a second knowledge worker; and
transmitting the additional data from the first location to a second location associated with the second knowledge worker.

Abstract
A system enables high-frequency communication between an external communication device and one or more implantable medical devices. The system implements a communication protocol in which the external communication device interrogates any implantable medical devices within range to establish one-to-one communication links for purposes of exchanging data and/or programming the medical devices.

9. A system comprising:
-
means for receiving data from an implantable medical device and storing it in a central repository; means for evaluating the accuracy and completeness of the data; means for generating at least two different data packages, each data package comprising different portions of the data; means for transmitting at least a first data package from the central repository to a first location associated with a first knowledge worker, the first data package served to a computer system at the first location according to protocols and formats desired by the computer system; means for processing the first data package at the first location by a computer system, the processing specific to a use of the first data package by the first knowledge worker; means for generating, at the first location, additional data that is useful to at least one of a patient associated with the implantable medical device or a second knowledge worker; and means for transmitting the additional data from the first location to a second location associated with the second knowledge worker. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
receiving data from an implantable medical device at a central repository; processing the data by a processing system in communication with the central repository according to a knowledge worker specific application that is specifically tailored to create a data package that includes a portion of the data which is of interest to a first knowledge worker; storing the data package in the central repository; transmitting the data package from the central repository to a distribution/presentation system in communication with the central repository; serving the data package from the distribution/presentation system to a first location associated with the first knowledge worker according to protocols and formats of a computer system at the first location; performing further processing of the data package at the first location to obtain data results and to generate instructions corresponding to the data results; and transmitting the instructions from the first location to a second location associated with a second knowledge worker. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
