A method for the computer-assisted monitoring of the medical parameters of a patient by means of a patient data management and/or decision support system comprising the steps of (a) assigning physiological parameters of the patient to a first group or a second group, wherein the physiological parameters have been acquired, wherein at least a part of the physiological parameters is characteristic for the presence of a disturbance of health and wherein the physiological parameters are - measured values of a measured physiological index of the patient or an indicator substance or - classifications of a physiological condition of a patient and wherein the parameters of the first group were continuously determined, and the parameters of the second group were discontinuously determined and wherein the necessity of parameters of the second group is continuously determined on the basis of previously acquired values of parameters of the first group or on the basis of previously acquired values of parameters of the first group and the second group, wherein a parameter that originally has been assigned to the second group and was acquired in intervals of 24 hours or less is sorted from the second group into the first group; (b) linking acquired values to a first time stamp and a second time stamp, wherein the first time stamp depicts the moment of the incident of the value and the second time stamp depicts the moment of the acquisition of the value, wherein with parameters of the first group the first time stamp is set equal to the second time stamp if the time difference between the first and second time stamp is lower than 10 min, and with parameters of the second group an alert is triggered if the first time stamp is not different from the second time stamp, and an alert is triggered if there is a second time stamp for one value but not a first time stamp; (c) continuously comparing values of different parameters having the same first time stamp with comparative values being stored in the system, wherein same first time stamps are first time stamps differing by at most a tolerance value; (d) triggering an alert if the comparison shows that at least one of the values lies outside of a given tolerance range with respect to the comparative value; (e) linking the alert to a third time stamp depicting the time of the triggering of the alert; (f) determining the time (end time) calculated beginning from the third time stamp at which a medical measure must be taken at latest, wherein the time is determined based on given terms stored in the system; and (g) continuously outputting (i) the end time determined in step (f) and/or (ii) the period remaining to reach the end time and/or (iii) a time range being shorter than the period remaining to reach the end time. (a) assigning physiological parameters of the patient to a first group or a second group, wherein the physiological parameters have been acquired, wherein at least a part of the physiological parameters is characteristic for the presence of a disturbance of health and wherein the physiological parameters are - measured values of a measured physiological index of the patient or an indicator substance or - classifications of a physiological condition of a patient and wherein the parameters of the first group were continuously determined, and the parameters of the second group were discontinuously determined and wherein the necessity of parameters of the second group is continuously determined on the basis of previously acquired values of parameters of the first group or on the basis of previously acquired values of parameters of the first group and the second group, wherein a parameter that originally has been assigned to the second group and was acquired in intervals of 24 hours or less is sorted from the second group into the first group; - measured values of a measured physiological index of the patient or an indicator substance or - classifications of a physiological condition of a patient (b) linking acquired values to a first time stamp and a second time stamp, wherein the first time stamp depicts the moment of the incident of the value and the second time stamp depicts the moment of the acquisition of the value, wherein with parameters of the first group the first time stamp is set equal to the second time stamp if the time difference between the first and second time stamp is lower than 10 min, and with parameters of the second group an alert is triggered if the first time stamp is not different from the second time stamp, and an alert is triggered if there is a second time stamp for one value but not a first time stamp; (c) continuously comparing values of different parameters having the same first time stamp with comparative values being stored in the system, wherein same first time stamps are first time stamps differing by at most a tolerance value; (d) triggering an alert if the comparison shows that at least one of the values lies outside of a given tolerance range with respect to the comparative value; (e) linking the alert to a third time stamp depicting the time of the triggering of the alert; (f) determining the time (end time) calculated beginning from the third time stamp at which a medical measure must be taken at latest, wherein the time is determined based on given terms stored in the system; and (g) continuously outputting (i) the end time determined in step (f) and/or (ii) the period remaining to reach the end time and/or (iii) a time range being shorter than the period remaining to reach the end time.
