SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A REFERENCE BASE LINE OF AN INDIVIDUAL PATIENT CONDITION FOR USE IN AN AUTOMATED COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR PATIENT CARE

摘要

A system 10 and method for determining a reference baseline 5 of individual patient status 54 for use in an automated collection and analysis patient care system is described. A set of measures 57 collected from a medical device 12 having a sensor for monitoring at least one physiological measure of an individual patient 11 is received. The collected device measures set includes individual measures which each relate to patient information recorded by the medical device during an initial time period. The collected device measures set are stored into a patient care record for the individual patient within a database 17 organized to store one or more patient care records. The collected device measures set is processed into a set of reference measures 59. Each reference measure is representative of at least one of measured or derived patient information. The reference measures set 59 is stored into the patient care record as data in a reference baseline 5 indicating an initial patient status 55. IMAGE
