1. A method for processing physiometry for use in remote automated congestive heart failure patient management, comprising:
- identifying a patient enrolled in automated patient care with information comprising at least one of treatment profile and medical history of the patient;
receiving device measures for the patient periodically;
deriving measures based on the device measures, wherein the device and derived measures quantify a pathophysiology indicative of congestive heart failure;
determining hysteresis parameters based on the patient history and peer group guidelines, wherein the hysteresis parameters comprise limits per time range on fluctuations of the device measures and the derived measures.

Abstract
A system and method for providing diagnosis and monitoring of congestive heart failure for use in automated patient care is described. At least one recorded physiological measure is compared to at least one other recorded physiological measure on a substantially regular basis to quantify a change in patient pathophysiological status for equivalent patient information. An absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of congestive heart failure is evaluated dependent upon the change in patient pathophysiological status.
