System and apparatus for providing baseline data for automated patient management
First Claim
1. An apparatus for automated patient management, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to execute software modules, wherein the modules comprise the following:
- a collected measures module configured to receive collected device measures as raw physiometry for the patient regularly recorded by a medical device, beginning with an initial observation period;
a derived measures module configured to receive derived device measures as derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures;
a processing module configured to process the collected and derived device measures into a reference baseline comprising a set of reference measures;
an acceptance module configured to analyze the reference measures set against acceptance parameters to determine whether a patient is eligible for automated patient care comprising continuous monitoring and analysis of patient medical device information; and
an analysis module configured to continuously monitor and analyze patient medical device information.

Abstract
A system and method for providing baseline data for automated patient management is disclosed. A patient is identified for enrollment in automated patient management with information including at least one of treatment profile and medical history. Device measures are collected to provide raw physiometry for the patient regularly recorded by a medical device, beginning with an initial observation period. Derived device measures are determined to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures. Baseline data from the collected and derived device measures are quantified.
