Abstract:
A system for providing patient status diagnosis for use in automated patient care, comprising:a database module storing physiological measures relating to individual patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis for an individual patient as a patient care record, and logically grouping a plurality of the physiological measures, each relating to a same type of individual patient information, into a plurality of per measure sets; an analysis module retrieving one or more of the physiological measures in the patient care record from the database and analyzing the retrieved physiological measures relative to one or more other physiological measures to determine a patient status indicator: a comparison module comparing, during analysis, one or more physiological measures selected from one such peer measures set to one or more physiological measures selected from another such peer measures set; a feedback module sending feedback based on the analysis of the one or more physiological measures to the individual patient; a derivation module deriving a plurality of derived physiological measures from the physiological measures; and a comparison module comparing, during analysis, one or more such derived physiological measures to one or more other such derived physiological measures.
