Abstract:
1. A system for providing synergistic alert condition processing in an automated patient management system, comprising: a server retrieving patient data from an origination source and evaluating the patient data for occurrence of an alert condition; a classifier classifying the alert condition based on the origination source and assigning the alert condition along a continuum comprising adverse outcome potential versus medical intervention impact potential; a manager managing the alert condition by assigning a disposition based on relative placement of the alert condition along the continuum; and a communicator determining whether the assigned disposition is actionable and, when actionable, communicating an alert notification over a selectable mode of communications, wherein a combined alert condition is identified by evaluating a confluence of non-actionable alert conditions and assigning the combined alert condition along the continuum.
