Abstract: In a patient care process a human patient 2 is registered with a computer system 1. The system 1 records identity details for the patient 2 against a unique identifier. The system 1 receives information indicative of the health or other condition of the patient 2 and records such information against the patient's unique identifier. A health care plan 5 is also generated and/or recorded in or by the system 1 for the patient 2 against the unique identifier. The system 1 may receive and processes electronic data 6, 7, to determine whether the patient is substantially compliant or responding adequately to the care plan 5. The system 1 then generates and at least initiates a notification 8 to the patient 2 and/or at least one suitably authorized health care provider 3.

Abstract: A process for creating a care plan comprising the steps of: a) receiving personal data in a computer system, such data identifying: i) personal characteristics of a human subject; and ii) conditions for which the human subject requires treatment; b) the computer system subjecting the personal data to software triggering rules which, based on the content of the personal data, allocates the personal data to a plurality of software base rule sets wherein each base rule set has rules for treating a respective condition; c) the computer system subjecting the personal data to the allocated base rule sets to generate a base care plan for each condition, wherein each base care plan has data representative of action steps for treating the respective condition; d) the computer system subjecting each base care plan to software comparison rules to identify conflicts between the base care plans; and e) the computer system subjecting conflicts between the base care plans to software resolution rules to resolve at least som
