First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, information related to a health-related attribute of a patient;
defining, by the computing device, the health-related attribute, using the received information, to affect a timing and type of medical care follow-up action to be provided; and
automatically scheduling, by the computing device, the medical care follow-up action, wherein the medical care follow-up action comprises delivery of an interactive interview based at least in part upon the defined health-related attribute.

Abstract
Automated methods and systems are disclosed for persistently facilitating the timely gathering, monitoring, distribution and delivery of information related to medical care where such may include: (1) finding a communications channel for effectively attempting a message delivery to a specific target person at a specified time; (2) deliverable message content to limitations of a chosen communications channel; adaptively finding a targeted recipient even if the latter is highly mobile and/or has travel patterns or communications-channel preferences that change over time; (3) verifying that a targeted recipient has actually received an attempted delivery within an applicable time limit; (4) automatically recognizing that an urgent message delivery-attempt was not timely completed and adaptively alerting responsible entities of the in completion; and (5) automatically recognizing that an urgent change or non change of condition has occurred by virtue of information gathered during an automated or manually-conducted Interview where physician expected positive progress prior to Interview and adaptively alerting responsible entities of the changed or unchanged condition based on the urgency of the change or non-change.

8. A server apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and logic configured to be operated by the one or more processors, to cause the server apparatus, in response to operation of the logic, to; receive information related to a health-related attribute of a patient which may affect a timing and type of medical care follow-up action to be provided to the patient; define the health-related attribute using the received information; and automatically and adaptively schedule, based at least in part upon the defined health-related attribute, the medical care follow-up action to follow a providing of at least one of an assessment of a condition of the patient or an attempted completion of a care-related communication to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A system, comprising:
-
a network interface; one or more processors coupled to the network interface; and a memory coupled to the network interface and the one or more processors, the memory configured to store; unique attribute data associated with a patient to whom an interview is to be communicated, and instructions; wherein the instructions, in response to execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to; automatically attempt to conduct the interview with the patient; and in response to conducting the interview, use information from the interview to update the unique attribute data stored in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
