MEETING WITH PATIENT GOVERNED BY MEDICAL SERVICING NETWORK

摘要

FIELD: information technology.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems for remote monitoring of the state of patients. A medical service network (10) is provided in an environment in which daily individual attention is useful for chronic patients requiring medical care. Each patient receives a user interface device (12) such as a set-top box for accessing the network (10). Based on the medical history of the patient, a nurse or other healthcare worker interacts with a server (22) and draws a service schedule specifically for the given patient by filling the appropriate parts of the service schedule form. A routing processor (32) orders the content thoroughly selected from the patient service schedule and creates a sequentially ordered route for the patient which must be executed everyday. The patient enters the network (10) and is immediately presented the daily route without the need to navigate any menu. As a result, the patient will carry out a simpler action and will not miss any material.;EFFECT: broader functional capabilities of providing patients with the necessary information without creating a health service network.;23 cl, 14 dwg
