Patient management system
First Claim
1. A method of remotely caring for a patient having a medical device, the method comprising:
- providing, by a processor, an instruction to a medical device, the instruction calling for medical device information that the instruction limits by at least one of;
being collected by the medical device during a specific time period;
or being related to a specific subject matter;
selecting a limited data set consisting of only medical device information that is responsive to the instruction, from medical device information stored in the medical device, the limited data set comprising at least one of;
information collected during the specific time period or information related to the specific subject matter as called for by the instruction;
transmitting the limited data set from the medical device to a data mart;
determining whether the data mart has access to instruction information that indicates how the instruction limits the medical device information selected and transmitted by the medical device;
providing the instruction information from the medical device to the data mart in response to the data mart determining it does not have access to the instruction information; and
managing the limited data set at the data mart according to the instruction information, wherein managing the limited data set at the data mart includes analyzing the limited data set based on historical information stored at the data mart.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system in which a medical device selects less than all of its stored information and provides the selected subset of information to a data mart for storage, processing, and/or communication to one or more interested parties. In many embodiments, customers, patients, or even components of the medical device or of the remote patient management system can access selected medical device information (e.g., customers can access medical device information tailored to the care they are providing to one or more patients). In many embodiments, customers can receive such medical device information according to a schedule that best suits their care (or whenever they desire such information, irrespective of a schedule). In many embodiments, providing less than full transmissions to the data mart reduces the strain on medical device batteries.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for causing one or more programmable processors to:
-
provide, by a processor, an instruction calling for medical device information that the instruction limits by at least one of;
being collected by a medical device during a specific time period;
or being related to a specific subject matter;receive a limited data set consisting of only medical device information that is responsive to the instruction, from medical device information stored in the medical device, the limited data set comprising at least one of;
information collected during the specific time period or information related to the specific subject matter as called for by the instruction;determine whether the data mart has access to instruction information that indicates how the instruction limits the medical device information selected and transmitted by the medical device; retrieve the instruction information from the medical device in response to determining that the data mart does not have access to the instruction information; and manage the limited data set according to the instruction information based on historical information stored at the data mart. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of remotely caring for a patient having a medical device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a limited data set at a data mart from a medical device, the limited data set having been selected based on an instruction calling for medical device information stored in the medical device and consisting of only medical device information that is responsive to the instruction, that the instruction limited by at least one of;
being collected by the medical device during a specific time period;
or being related to a specific subject matter;determining whether the data mart has access to instruction information that indicates how the instruction limits the medical device information selected and transmitted by the medical device; retrieving the instruction information from the medical device in response to the data mart determining that it does not have access to the instruction information; and managing the limited data set at the data mart according to the instruction information, wherein managing the limited data set at the data mart includes analyzing the limited data set based on historical information stored at the data mart. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
