Abstract: The method and system includes patient sensing systems configured to collect a plurality of physiological data sets and treatment data sets from a patient. A user selects an information set to be viewed such as a pre-defined condition or common medication combination. The method and system constructs a trended view of the information set over a period of time, wherein the trended view includes a pre-defined combination of the plurality of physiological and treatment data sets for a particular information set. The trended view can then be displayed to assist the user with medication titration.

Abstract: A system and method for the optimization of scheduling visits by a clinician to a plurality of remotely located patients. A plurality of predefined or clinician specified risk factors are combined with patient data with a home visit interval algorithm to specify a visit interval for each patient. This interval is used with a calendar with other information regarding past and future scheduled visits to determine the optimal date for the next visit to the patient by the clinician. The patient risk factors may be weighted to place more emphasis on specific factors, thus allowing for the tailoring of the system to meet the needs of an individual patient.

Abstract: The method and system includes producing performance reports for payors that require performance evidence. The method and system collects a set of clinical data from the patient, combines the set of remote patient data with a set of EMR data, de-identifies this data, and produces a set of reports including compliance reports and outcomes reports, which can be tailored to a payor's needs, and further delivered to the payor. The method may be implemented as software to be executed on the system.

Abstract: The method and system includes efficiently routing remotely acquired patient data to both clinical and non-clinical care providers. The method and system collects a set of physiological data from the patient, accesses a set of routing rules from a routing database, and routes the set of physiological data to the appropriate care provider based on the routing rules. The method and system is configured to automatically route the set of physiological data, but may be configured for manual routing as well. The method may be embodied as software and executed on an appropriate system.

Abstract: The method and system includes producing a trajectory report to illustrate for the patient the benefit of complying with a prescribed treatment regimen. The method and system collects a set of physiological, self assessment, and compliance data from the patient, accesses a patient medical record database and a de-identified compliance and outcomes database, and calculates a clinical trajectory using a trajectory algorithm. The clinical trajectory is displayed for the patient on a graphical user interface, and illustrates for the patient the results of adhering to a prescribed treatment regimen compared to not adhering to the regimen. The method and system may be applied to any health condition that requires the patient to follow a treatment regimen.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system and method for associating acquired clinical data with a patient. The system can include a patient identification device that can be coupled to a patient, a data acquisition device that can be coupled to the patient to acquire clinical data, a patient monitor coupled to the medical acquisition device, a monitor identification device coupled to the patient monitor, and a code reader that can be used by a caregiver to read the patient identification device and the monitor identification device.

Abstract: A technique is provided for determining service intervals for devices, such as medical equipment. Data related to a device is collected and compared to data from a population of like devices. A service interval may be calculated based on the comparison. The data regarding the population of like devices may be raw quantitative or qualitative data or may be processed data, such as may be used to graph the reliability of the device as a function of some variable such as usage or age, i.e. a reliability curve. The data may representative of the device as a whole or one or more components of the device. Multiple service intervals may be generated for a single device by calculating a service interval for each data source, such as a component or subset of components, of the device. An optimal service interval may then be selected. In addition, the technique may be applied for selection of a service interval for more than one device.

Abstract: A data acquisition system can include an acquisition device and a receiving device. The acquisition device includes inputs that receive data from sensors connected to a subject, a wireless and/or a wired transmitter that transmits data received by the inputs, and a housing carrying at least some of the components of the acquisition device. The housing may be wearable by a patient. The acquisition device may be switchable between a tethered data transmission mode and an untethered data transmission mode. The receiving device includes a receiver that receives data transmitted by the acquisition device, and may include an output that outputs data to a host. The system may be configured to transmit data from the data acquisition device to the local monitor point-to-point. The system is particularly useful for monitoring high acuity patients that may or may not require ambulation.
