Treatment data processing and planning system
First Claim
1. A patient treatment management system, comprising:
- a repository including treatment information for a particular patient identifying treatment objectives and an associated schedule for achievement of said objectives;
an interface processor for acquiring data representing clinical information of a particular patient related to a particular treatment objective;
a monitoring processor for automatically assessing from the acquired clinical information whether said particular treatment objective is achieved substantially by a scheduled time deadline in response to an identified variance indicating a variation of patient treatment from planned treatment; and
a task scheduling processor for automatically initiating scheduling of a first sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination said particular treatment objective is achieved and for initiating scheduling of a different second sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination said particular treatment objective is not achieved.

Abstract
A patient treatment management system involves a repository including treatment information for a particular patient identifying treatment objectives and an associated schedule for achievement of the objectives. An interface processor acquires data representing clinical information of a particular patient related to a particular treatment objective. A monitoring processor assesses from the acquired clinical information whether the particular treatment objective is achieved substantially by a scheduled time deadline. A task scheduling processor automatically initiates scheduling of a first sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination the treatment objective is achieved and initiates scheduling of a different second sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination the treatment objective is not achieved.

13. A patient treatment management system, comprising:
-
a repository including treatment information for a particular patient identifying expected results of treatment, care actions a healthcare team need to take to reach said expected results and an associated schedule for achievement of said expected results; an interface processor for acquiring data representing clinical information of a particular patient related to a particular treatment result; a monitoring processor for automatically assessing from the acquired clinical information whether said particular treatment result is achieved substantially by a scheduled time deadline in response to an identified coded variance indicating a variation of patient treatment from planned treatment selected from a plurality of predefined coded variances documenting differences between actual and expected outcomes; and a task scheduling processor for substantially continuously monitoring work schedules and action and inaction of multiple clinicians and other systems that occurs within predetermined time periods and initiating scheduling of a sequence of tasks in response to a detected action or inaction and for automatically initiating scheduling of a first sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination a first treatment result is achieved and for initiating scheduling of a different second sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination a second treatment result is achieved.

14. A system for generating a patient treatment management plan, comprising:
-
a repository including treatment information for a particular patient identifying treatment objectives, care actions to be taken to reach said objectives and an associated schedule for achievement of said objectives; an interface processor for receiving data representing a rule used for assessing from acquired clinical information whether a particular treatment objective is achieved substantially by a scheduled time deadline and for storing the rule representative data for use with said treatment information; a monitoring processor for assessing from acquired clinical information whether said particular treatment objective is achieved substantially by said scheduled time deadline in response to an identified variance indicating a variation of patient treatment from planned treatment selected from a plurality of predefined coded variances documenting differences between actual and expected outcomes; and a task scheduling processor for substantially continuously monitoring work schedules and action and inaction of multiple clinicians and other systems that occurs within predetermined time periods and initiating scheduling of a sequence of tasks in response to a detected action or inaction and for automatically initiating scheduling of a first sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination said treatment objective is achieved and for initiating scheduling of a different second sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination said treatment objective is not achieved. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

18. A patient treatment management system, comprising:
-
a repository including treatment information for a particular patient identifying treatment objectives, care actions to be taken to reach said objectives and an associated schedule for achievement of said objectives; an interface processor for acquiring data representing clinical information of a particular patient related to a particular treatment objective; a monitoring processor for determining, from the acquired clinical information, whether a procedure required by said treatment information has been performed substantially by a scheduled time deadline in response to an identified variance indicating a variation of patient treatment from planned treatment selected from a plurality of predefined coded variances documenting differences between actual and expected outcomes; and a task scheduling processor for substantially continuously monitoring work schedules and action and inaction of multiple clinicians and other systems that occurs within predetermined time periods and initiating scheduling of a sequence of tasks in response to a detected action or inaction and for automatically initiating scheduling of a first sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination said procedure has not been substantially performed by said scheduled time deadline and for initiating scheduling of a different second sequence of tasks to be performed by a healthcare worker in response to a determination said procedure has been performed substantially by said scheduled time deadline.
