Abstract: A computer program for directing operation of a tablet computer or other portable electronic device operated by a caregiver while administering an in-home or outpatient treatment to a patient. The computer program comprises a code segment for receiving pre-treatment patient data representative of a condition of a patient before the patient receives a treatment; a code segment for receiving treatment patient data representative of a condition of the patient while or shortly after the patient receives the treatment; a code segment for transmitting at least some of the pre-treatment patient data and the treatment patient data from the portable electronic device to a remote computer while or shortly after the patient receives the treatment; and a code segment for receiving and displaying instructions from a doctor that are provided in response to the transmitted data.

Abstract: A computer program comprises a code segment for prompting a caregiver to administer a test to the patient before beginning a treatment; a code segment for receiving with a portable electronic device pre-treatment patient data representative of a result of the test; a code segment for prompting the caregiver to initiate the treatment; a code segment for prompting the caregiver to re-administer the test after beginning the treatment; a code segment for receiving with the portable electronic device treatment patient data representative of a result of the test after the patient begins receiving the treatment; and a code segment for transmitting at least some of the pre-treatment patient data and the treatment patient data from the portable electronic device to a remote computer.

Abstract: A computer program for directing operation of a computer system that receives data from a portable electronic device operated by a caregiver. The computer program comprises a code segment for receiving data representative of a medical treatment to be administered to a patient (medical data); a code segment for receiving data representative of a condition of the patient before the medical treatment (pre-treatment patient data); a code segment for receiving data representative of a condition of the patient after the patient begins receiving the treatment (treatment patient data); and a code segment for correlating the medical data with the pre-treatment patient data and the treatment patient data to allow an investigator to determine an efficacy of the medical treatment.
