HEA1~TH MANAGEMENT
BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally tca computer systems for managing healthcare, and in particular to a system and method for proactively monitoring a group of patients having a chronic disease or ongoing health condition.
2. Description of Prior Art Managing a chronic disease or ongoing health condition requires the monitoring and controlling of a physical or mental parameter of the health condition.
Examples of these parameters include blood glucose in diabetes, respiratory flow in asthma, blood pressure in hypertension, cholesterol in cardiovascular disease, weight in eating 1 S disorders, T-cell or viral count in H1V, and frequency or timing of episodes in mental health disorders. Because of the continuous nature of these health conditions, their corresponding parameters must be monitored arid controlled on a regular basis by the patients themselves outside of a medieal clinic.
Typically, the patients monitor and control these parameters in clinician assisted self care or outpatient treatment programs. While these outpatient treatment programs offer significant advantages for patients and healthcare providers, they present the assisting clinician with two problems in effectively managing the .medical priorities of his or her patients.
The first problem is in determining each patient's current medical status.
Since the patients themselves monitor their health conditions, the clinician is often limited to learning each patient's status strictly through patient initiated events, such as an emergency visit or the delivery of the patients latest medical data. Even with the current availability of remote monitoring devices that store and transmit medical data from a patient's home to a clinic, the clinician must still wait for medical information whose arrival depends on the patient's initiative.
As a result, the majority of the clinician's time is spent with the patients who are the most motivated and eager for a response, while the greatest medical needs remain with the unmotivated patients who do not visit the clinician or transmit their medical data. These unmotivated patients often develop urgent medical needs that could have been prevented with proper medical management. Consequently, the cost of treating their chronic health conditions is much higher than one might expect given the sophistication of current medical monitoring devices.
The second problem is in determining which patients are having the greatest difficulty in controlling their health condition so that the clinician may focus attention on these patients. Unfortunately, most existing healthcare information systems are only designed to display medical data on an individual patient basis. Few systems have been developed that enable c:linician's to view medical data for an entire group of patients simultaneously. C.'onsequently, it is extremely difficult for a clinician to l5 prioritize his or her time and efforts in a manner that optimizes care and minimizes costs and complications for the entire group of patients.
Many systems have been developed for remote monitoring of a group of patients.
For example , U.S. Pat. No. 5,357.427 issued to Langen et al. on Oct. 18, 1994 describes a system for simultaneous remote mo~~itoring of a group of high risk patients using artificial intelligence. The system includes for each patient a remote monitoring device, such as a blood pressure cuff, glucometer, etc. The remote monitoring device is connected to a telemedical interface box which transmits monitored data over a telephone line to a data recording se~stem. Data is also collected from each patient using an artificial intelligence program that asks the patient questions through a telephone. A computer is connected to the recording system to display individual patient messages indicating a current symptom of onr: of the patients.
Although Langen's system does allow simultaneous monitoring of a group of patient's, it lacks a display mechanism for simultaneously displaying summary data for the entire group of .patients. Langen's system also lacks a mechanism for indicating which patients have been out of contact with the clinician and therefore have an unknown current medical status. Consequently, Langen's system is ineffective in aiding the clinician to prioritize his or her time and efforts in .managing the medical priorities of an entire group of patients.
Another medical monitoring system designed to monitor a group of patients is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,331,549 issued to Crawforcl cm Jul. 19, 1994.
Crawford's system includes a plurality of vital signs monitors for monitoring a plurality of patients, each monitor providing continuous data to a central server. A
supervisory screen is connected to the server to display a nannal status or varying levels of alarm status of the vital signs of individual patients. The system permits an overview display of a hospital floor as well as a zoom in display of an ondividual patient site. The system further provides a warning alarm signal when any one or more vital signs of an individual patient is outside of"a predetermined limit.
While Crawford's system does allow simultaneous viewing of the vital sign status of each patient in a group, it is only directed at monitoring a~ group of patients who are continually connected to their vital sign monitors. Crawford's overview screen lacks any mechanism for indicating which patients have been out of contact with a clinician since continual contact is assumed.
Further, the summary data presented for each patient on the overview screen is limited to an indication of a normal state or alarm state of each patient's vital signs.
Consequently, the system only allows a clinician to determine which patients are having the greatest difficulty in controlling their health condition when an actual emergency situation exists. 7~hus, Crawford s system is effective as a medical alarm system, but of little use to a clinician in managing the medical priorities of a group of patients who are not continually monitored in a healthcare facility.
There is a need to provide a multiple patient monitoring system that allows a clinician to view and manage the medical priorities of an entire group of patients having a chronic health condition and that allows a clinician to communicate proactively with unmotivated patients who leave lost contact with the clinician and allow a clinician to optimize efforts and minimize costs in managing the medical needs of the entire group of patients.

DESCRIPTION
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1-b. FIG. 1 shows the main components of a system for monitoring a group of patients having an ongoing health condition. A healthcare clinic 10 has a clinic server computer 12 that includes a mail merge application 14, a mail server application 16, a master patient database 18, _p_ and a patient overview application 20. It will be apparent to one skilled in the ark that clinic server 12 may comprise a single stand-alone computer or multiple computers distributed throughout a network.
Mail merge application 14 is designed to generate electronic mail messages containing supervisory instructions to selected patients in the group, as will be explained in the operation section below. Mail server application 16 is a conventional electronic mail server designed to transmit the generated electronic mail messages to the selected patients.
Database 18 stores data relating to each patient managed by clinic 10.
Overview application 20 is a software application for performing ~rarious calculations using the patient data stored in database 18 and for generating an overview chart 26 from the data, as will be explained in detail below. Server 12 is coupled to a modem M1 for I S connecting server 12 to a corwmuniciition network 34, lrreferably a public telephone network, tire Internet or similar data transmission network.
A clinician workstation 22 is networked to clinic server 12. Clinician workstation 22 is preferably a personal computer or network tern~inal. Workstation 22 has a display 24 for displaying overview chart 26 to a clinician 30. Workstation 22 further includes a user selection device 28, such as a mouse or keyboard. Selecting device 28 is used by clinician 30 to select the patients represented on chart 26 who are to receive supervisory instnrctions.
A patient unit 38 for receiving electronic mail messages Iiom mail server 16 is located at a first patient site 36, typically the patient's home, Patient unit 38 includes a message display 40 for displaying the electronic mail messages. In the preferred embodiment, patient unit 38 is a laersonal cornaputer leaving a display monitor.
However, in alternative embodiments, patient unit 38 may be any information processing and display unit, such as a network terminal, a television set with a set-top cable converter box, a personal digital assistant, or a video game system.
Patient unit 38 is connected to a modem M2 such that patient unit 38 is networked to communication network 34.
A recording device, such as a remote monitoring device 42, is also connected to modem M2. Device 42 is for collecting from a first patient 44 a corresponding set of measurements of a control parameter of' the patient's health condition, such as blood glucose levels for a diabetic patient, leak flow rates for an asthmatic patient, or blood pressure for a hypertension patient. Device 42 is capable of recording each measurement in the set with a corresponding measurement date and measurement time. Device 42 is designed to record the set of~ measurements and transmit the recorded set to database 18 through communication network 34. Such monitoring devices for recording and transmitting measurements of a parameter of a health condition are well known in the art.
A second patient site 46 includes the same equipment as first patient site 36, with the exception of the recording device used by a second patient 49. The recording device I S at second patient site 46 is an electronic logbook 48 for recording a corresponding set of measurements entered in logbook 48 by second patient 49. Logbook 48 is capable of recording each measurement in the set with a corresponding measurement date and measurement time. Logbook 48 is designed to transmit the set of measurements recorded therein to database 18 through communication network 34. Such electronic logbooks for recording and transmitting data are well known in the art. The use of logbook 48 to record and transmit patient data enables those patients with mental health conditions or other condition whose control parameters may not be physically measured to participate in the patient monitoring system.
For simplicity of illustration, only two patient sites and two corresponding patients are shown in F1G. 1. It is obvious that the system of the invention may be effectively used to monitor a great number of patients. In a typical implementation, hundreds of patient sites are connected to clinic server' 12 via communication network 34.
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the data which is collected from each patient and stored in master patient database 18. The data collected from each patient includes at least one corresponding set of measurements 50 of the control parameter of the health condition. Each set of measurements SO includes at least one _g~
measurement 52. Each measurement 52 includes a measured control parameter value 54, such as a blood glucose level for a diabetic patient, a peak flow rate for an asthmatic patient, or a blood pressure reading fox a hypertension patient.
Each measurement 52 further includes a measurement date 56 and a measurement time 58.
The actual number of measurements in each set varies in dependence upon the nature of the health condition being monitored and the duration of time over which the measurements are recorded. For example, diabetic patients typically measure their blood glucose levels several times per day, so that these patients preferably record 20 I0 to 40 measurements in a typical week of monitoring. l~c>wever, hypertension patients may only be required to measure their blood pressure once a week, so that these patients would record only one measurement in a typical week of monitoring.
Each set of measurements 50 is transmitted to database I8. Database 18 stores patient records 60 for each patient participating in the monitoring system. Each patient's records include patient information 62 comprising a patient name, a patient telephone number, and a patient electronic mail address. Each patient's records also include each corresponding set of measurements 50 received from the patient. Each set 50 has a corresponding collection date 64.
In the preferred embodiment, collection date 64 is the date the corresponding set of measurements are received by clinic server 12. In an alten~ative embodiment, collection date 64 is the date the corresponding set of n veasurements are transmitted to the clinic. In another embodiment. cod lection date 64 is the measurement date 56 of a most recent measurement in the corresponding set of measurements.
Overview application 20 is designed to perform various calculations and comparisons using the patient data stored in database 18. first, overview application 20 is designed to calculate a control value for each patient from the patient's at least one corresponding set of measurements. Each control value indicates the corresponding patient's control over the health condition. In the preferred embodiment, the control value calculated for each patient is a mean value of the control parameter values recorded by the patient over a preselected period of time. In an alternative _y_ embodiment; the control value calculated for each patient is a mean value of the control parameter values in a. set of measurements most recently collected from the patient.
The preselected period of time used to calculate the control value varies in dependence upon the nature of the patient's health condition. For example, a useful period of time for calculating a mean blood glucose value for diabetes patients is typically one week, while a useful period of time for calculating a mean daily number of panic attacks for phobic patients is typically two wec ks. The actual period of time used to calculate the control value is preselected and programmed in overview application 20 according to guidelines prescribed by the clinician.
Second, overview application 20 is designed t.o determine for each patient a time period which has elapsed since the collection date of tloe set of measurements most recently collected from the patient. For example, if a patient has only transmitted to the clinic one set of measurements, overview application 20 determines the time that has elapsed since the collection date of the orre set. if a patient has transmitted to the clinic multiple sets of measurement, overview applic~rtion 20 determines the time that has elapsed since the most recent collection date.
Third, overview application 20 is designed to determine the compliance of each patient with a clinician prescribed measurement regimen. The prescribed measurement regimen preferably includes prescribed measurement dates and prescribed measurement times. To determine the compliance of each patient, overview application 20 compares each patient's actual measurement dates and times with the prescribed measurement dates and times.
For example, it is usually important that a diabetic patient measure his or her fasting blood glucose level every morning before breakfast. Thus one prescribed measurement time for a diabetes patient is '7 arn, or similar pre-breakfast time.
Overview application 20 compares the diabetes patient's actual measurement times with the prescribed pre-breakfast time to ensure that the patient is complying with the measurement regimen. Of course, many other prescribed measurement regimens are possible and are selected according to guidelines provided by the clinician.
In the preferred embodiment, the prescribed measurement regimen also includes a prescribed number of measurements to be taken by the patient over a prescribed time period. Overview application 2U is further capable of determining a completeness of each set of rneasurernents relative to the prescribed measurement regimen.
Continuing with the example of the diabetic patient, a typical prescribed measurement regimen requires 3 measurements of the patient's blood glucose level per day.
In this example, overview application 20 compares the actual number of measurements recorded by the patient on each measurement date to the three prescribed measurements per day to determine the completeness of ~:he set.
I S Overview application 2U is further capable of generating group overview chart 26.
FIG. 3. illustrates a sample group overview chart generated for a group of ten diabetes patients. Chart 26 has ten data points. each data point representing one corresponding patient and indicating the control value calculated for the patient and the time period elapsed since the patient's most recent collection date. in the preferred embodiment, each data point is represented on cloart 26 by a corresponding icon 66. Thus, by viewing chart 26, the clinici<rn immediately sees which patients have been out of contact with the clinic and therefore have an unknown status and which patients are having the most difficulty controlling their illness and require special attention.
Each icon 66 indicates the compliance of the corresponding patient with the prescribed measurement regimen. A char key 68 is provided on chart 26 to explain the significance of each icon's appearance. Non-compliant patients are represented by flashing icons, while compliant patients are represented h~y non-flashing icons. In FIG.
Examples of these parameters include blood glucose in diabetes, respiratory flow in asthma, blood pressure in hypertension, cholesterol in cardiovascular disease, weight in eating 1 S disorders, T-cell or viral count in H1V, and frequency or timing of episodes in mental health disorders. Because of the continuous nature of these health conditions, their corresponding parameters must be monitored arid controlled on a regular basis by the patients themselves outside of a medieal clinic.
Typically, the patients monitor and control these parameters in clinician assisted self care or outpatient treatment programs. While these outpatient treatment programs offer significant advantages for patients and healthcare providers, they present the assisting clinician with two problems in effectively managing the .medical priorities of his or her patients.

There is a need to provide a multiple patient monitoring system that allows a clinician to view and manage the medical priorities of an entire group of patients having a chronic health condition and that allows a clinician to communicate proactively with unmotivated patients who leave lost contact with the clinician and allow a clinician to optimize efforts and minimize costs in managing the medical needs of the entire group of patients.

DESCRIPTION
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1-b. FIG. 1 shows the main components of a system for monitoring a group of patients having an ongoing health condition. A healthcare clinic 10 has a clinic server computer 12 that includes a mail merge application 14, a mail server application 16, a master patient database 18, _p_ and a patient overview application 20. It will be apparent to one skilled in the ark that clinic server 12 may comprise a single stand-alone computer or multiple computers distributed throughout a network.
Mail merge application 14 is designed to generate electronic mail messages containing supervisory instructions to selected patients in the group, as will be explained in the operation section below. Mail server application 16 is a conventional electronic mail server designed to transmit the generated electronic mail messages to the selected patients.
Database 18 stores data relating to each patient managed by clinic 10.
Overview application 20 is a software application for performing ~rarious calculations using the patient data stored in database 18 and for generating an overview chart 26 from the data, as will be explained in detail below. Server 12 is coupled to a modem M1 for I S connecting server 12 to a corwmuniciition network 34, lrreferably a public telephone network, tire Internet or similar data transmission network.
A clinician workstation 22 is networked to clinic server 12. Clinician workstation 22 is preferably a personal computer or network tern~inal. Workstation 22 has a display 24 for displaying overview chart 26 to a clinician 30. Workstation 22 further includes a user selection device 28, such as a mouse or keyboard. Selecting device 28 is used by clinician 30 to select the patients represented on chart 26 who are to receive supervisory instnrctions.
A patient unit 38 for receiving electronic mail messages Iiom mail server 16 is located at a first patient site 36, typically the patient's home, Patient unit 38 includes a message display 40 for displaying the electronic mail messages. In the preferred embodiment, patient unit 38 is a laersonal cornaputer leaving a display monitor.
However, in alternative embodiments, patient unit 38 may be any information processing and display unit, such as a network terminal, a television set with a set-top cable converter box, a personal digital assistant, or a video game system.
Patient unit 38 is connected to a modem M2 such that patient unit 38 is networked to communication network 34.
A recording device, such as a remote monitoring device 42, is also connected to modem M2. Device 42 is for collecting from a first patient 44 a corresponding set of measurements of a control parameter of' the patient's health condition, such as blood glucose levels for a diabetic patient, leak flow rates for an asthmatic patient, or blood pressure for a hypertension patient. Device 42 is capable of recording each measurement in the set with a corresponding measurement date and measurement time. Device 42 is designed to record the set of~ measurements and transmit the recorded set to database 18 through communication network 34. Such monitoring devices for recording and transmitting measurements of a parameter of a health condition are well known in the art.
A second patient site 46 includes the same equipment as first patient site 36, with the exception of the recording device used by a second patient 49. The recording device I S at second patient site 46 is an electronic logbook 48 for recording a corresponding set of measurements entered in logbook 48 by second patient 49. Logbook 48 is capable of recording each measurement in the set with a corresponding measurement date and measurement time. Logbook 48 is designed to transmit the set of measurements recorded therein to database 18 through communication network 34. Such electronic logbooks for recording and transmitting data are well known in the art. The use of logbook 48 to record and transmit patient data enables those patients with mental health conditions or other condition whose control parameters may not be physically measured to participate in the patient monitoring system.
For simplicity of illustration, only two patient sites and two corresponding patients are shown in F1G. 1. It is obvious that the system of the invention may be effectively used to monitor a great number of patients. In a typical implementation, hundreds of patient sites are connected to clinic server' 12 via communication network 34.
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the data which is collected from each patient and stored in master patient database 18. The data collected from each patient includes at least one corresponding set of measurements 50 of the control parameter of the health condition. Each set of measurements SO includes at least one _g~
measurement 52. Each measurement 52 includes a measured control parameter value 54, such as a blood glucose level for a diabetic patient, a peak flow rate for an asthmatic patient, or a blood pressure reading fox a hypertension patient.
Each measurement 52 further includes a measurement date 56 and a measurement time 58.
The actual number of measurements in each set varies in dependence upon the nature of the health condition being monitored and the duration of time over which the measurements are recorded. For example, diabetic patients typically measure their blood glucose levels several times per day, so that these patients preferably record 20 I0 to 40 measurements in a typical week of monitoring. l~c>wever, hypertension patients may only be required to measure their blood pressure once a week, so that these patients would record only one measurement in a typical week of monitoring.
Each set of measurements 50 is transmitted to database I8. Database 18 stores patient records 60 for each patient participating in the monitoring system. Each patient's records include patient information 62 comprising a patient name, a patient telephone number, and a patient electronic mail address. Each patient's records also include each corresponding set of measurements 50 received from the patient. Each set 50 has a corresponding collection date 64.
In the preferred embodiment, collection date 64 is the date the corresponding set of measurements are received by clinic server 12. In an alten~ative embodiment, collection date 64 is the date the corresponding set of n veasurements are transmitted to the clinic. In another embodiment. cod lection date 64 is the measurement date 56 of a most recent measurement in the corresponding set of measurements.
Overview application 20 is designed to perform various calculations and comparisons using the patient data stored in database 18. first, overview application 20 is designed to calculate a control value for each patient from the patient's at least one corresponding set of measurements. Each control value indicates the corresponding patient's control over the health condition. In the preferred embodiment, the control value calculated for each patient is a mean value of the control parameter values recorded by the patient over a preselected period of time. In an alternative _y_ embodiment; the control value calculated for each patient is a mean value of the control parameter values in a. set of measurements most recently collected from the patient.
The preselected period of time used to calculate the control value varies in dependence upon the nature of the patient's health condition. For example, a useful period of time for calculating a mean blood glucose value for diabetes patients is typically one week, while a useful period of time for calculating a mean daily number of panic attacks for phobic patients is typically two wec ks. The actual period of time used to calculate the control value is preselected and programmed in overview application 20 according to guidelines prescribed by the clinician.
Second, overview application 20 is designed t.o determine for each patient a time period which has elapsed since the collection date of tloe set of measurements most recently collected from the patient. For example, if a patient has only transmitted to the clinic one set of measurements, overview application 20 determines the time that has elapsed since the collection date of the orre set. if a patient has transmitted to the clinic multiple sets of measurement, overview applic~rtion 20 determines the time that has elapsed since the most recent collection date.
Third, overview application 20 is designed to determine the compliance of each patient with a clinician prescribed measurement regimen. The prescribed measurement regimen preferably includes prescribed measurement dates and prescribed measurement times. To determine the compliance of each patient, overview application 20 compares each patient's actual measurement dates and times with the prescribed measurement dates and times.
For example, it is usually important that a diabetic patient measure his or her fasting blood glucose level every morning before breakfast. Thus one prescribed measurement time for a diabetes patient is '7 arn, or similar pre-breakfast time.
Overview application 20 compares the diabetes patient's actual measurement times with the prescribed pre-breakfast time to ensure that the patient is complying with the measurement regimen. Of course, many other prescribed measurement regimens are possible and are selected according to guidelines provided by the clinician.
In the preferred embodiment, the prescribed measurement regimen also includes a prescribed number of measurements to be taken by the patient over a prescribed time period. Overview application 2U is further capable of determining a completeness of each set of rneasurernents relative to the prescribed measurement regimen.
Continuing with the example of the diabetic patient, a typical prescribed measurement regimen requires 3 measurements of the patient's blood glucose level per day.
In this example, overview application 20 compares the actual number of measurements recorded by the patient on each measurement date to the three prescribed measurements per day to determine the completeness of ~:he set.
I S Overview application 2U is further capable of generating group overview chart 26.
FIG. 3. illustrates a sample group overview chart generated for a group of ten diabetes patients. Chart 26 has ten data points. each data point representing one corresponding patient and indicating the control value calculated for the patient and the time period elapsed since the patient's most recent collection date. in the preferred embodiment, each data point is represented on cloart 26 by a corresponding icon 66. Thus, by viewing chart 26, the clinici<rn immediately sees which patients have been out of contact with the clinic and therefore have an unknown status and which patients are having the most difficulty controlling their illness and require special attention.
Each icon 66 indicates the compliance of the corresponding patient with the prescribed measurement regimen. A char key 68 is provided on chart 26 to explain the significance of each icon's appearance. Non-compliant patients are represented by flashing icons, while compliant patients are represented h~y non-flashing icons. In FIG.
3, the flashing icons having dotted borders, while the non-flashing icons have solid borders. In an alternative embodiment, ncm-compliant patients are represented by icons having a first color, while compliant patients are represented by icons having a second color.
Each icon 66 further indicates the completeness of the set of measurements most recently collected ti-om the corresponding patient. Patients having complete sets are represented by filled icons, while patients having sparse sets are :represented by blank icons. Of course, in alternative embodiments, the appearance of each icon 66 may be varied in alternative ways to indicate the compliance of the corresponding patient and the completeness of the corresponding patient's measurements.
Chart 26 further includes a list box 7U, a print list button 74, and a send message button 7fi. List box 70 is for displaying a list of names of the patients selected from chart 26 by the clinician. 7,he icons corresponding to the selected patients are highlighted, as represented by dotted circles 72. Print list button 74 is for sending the list of names to a printer (not shown) to obtain a print out of the list. Send message button 76 is for transmitting the list to mail merge application 14. Specitic techniques for writing and implementing a software application to perform the functions 1 S described will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
Referring to FIG. 4, mail merge application 14 is designed to generate for each selected patient a corresponding electronic mail message 78. Each message 78 contains supervisory instrucaions for the corresponding patient. Mail merge application 14 is capable of customizing each message 78 to include for the corresponding patient, the patient's name, the patient's electronic mail address, and the collection date of the patient's most recent set of measurements. The programming of a mail merge application to generate customized messages in this manner is well known in the art. FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative message 80 containing different instructions for each patient. Of course, messages containing many other instructions are possible in alternative embodiments.
The operation of the preferred embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing a preferred method of using the system to monitor a group of patients having a health condition. Each patient is provided with a corresponding recording device, such as remote noonitoring device 42 or electronic logbaok 48. In step 200, each patient records in his or her recording device at least one corresponding set of measurements SO of a control parameter of the health condition. In step 202, the _12_ recorded sets of measurements are transmitted from each recording device to database 18 through network 34. Each set of measurements is stored an database 18 with its corresponding collection date 54, (step 204).
In step 206, overview application 20 calculates for each patient a control value from the patient's corresponding set of measurements. Next, ;application 20 determines the compliance of each patient with the prescribed measurement regimen by comparing the actual measurement times of the patient's corresponding measurements to the prescribed measurement times in the measurement regimen, (step 208).
In step 210, application 20 determines for each patient the completeness relative to the prescribed measurement regimen of the corresponding set of measurements most recently collected from the patient. t~pplicatiory 20 there determines for each patient the time period which has elapsed since the corresponding collection date 64 of the set of measurements mast recently collected from the patient, (step 212).
Next application 20 generates group overview chart 25, (step 214). In step 216, chart 26 is displayed on display 24, as shown in FIG. 3. Each data point on chart 26 is displayed as a corresponding icon 55. Each data point represents one corresponding patient and indicates the control value and the elapsed time period determined for the corresponding patient.
Each icon 66 indicates the compliance of the cowesponding patient with the prescribed measurement regimen. Each icon 65 further indicates the completeness of the corresponding set of measurements most recently collected from the corresponding patient. Thus chart 25 allows clinician 30 to easily determine which patients in the group have been out of contact with clinic 10, which patients are having the greatest difficulty ire controlling the health corndition, and which patients are having difficulty complying with the prescribed treatanent plan.
Next, clinician 30 uses selection device 28 to select from chart 26 at least one of the patients represented thereon, step 218. Typically, selection device 28 is a mouse or similar pointing device, and clinician 30 selects patients from chart 26 by clicking the -13_ icon corresponding to the patient. As clinician 3U selects each patient, list box 78 displays the name of each selected patient. Next clinician 30 selects send message button 76 to transmit the list of select~;d patients to mail merge application 14.
Application 14 generates for each selected patient a corresponding electronic mail message 78. Each message 78 contains supen~isory instructions for the corresponding patient. Mail merge application 14 customizes each message 78 to include for the corresponding patient, the patient's name, the patient's electronic mail address, and the collection date of the patient's most recent set of measurements. In step 220, mail server application 16 transmits each message 78 through network 34 to the correspanding patient. When the patients receive the supervisory instructions, they continue the monitoring loop with clinician 30, step 226, by returning to step 200 and repeating the method described.
The advantage of the multiple patient monitoring system of the preferred embodiment is that it allows the clinician to view and manage the medical priorities of an entire group of patients simultaneously. It also allows th~~ clinician to communicate proactively with unmotivated patients who have lost contact with the clinician before these patients develop urgent medical reeds. C.'onsequently, the system allows the clinician to optimize efforts and minimize costs in managing the care of the entire group of patients.
A second embodiment of the invention is Shawn in FIGS. 7-8. The second embodiment differs from the preferred embodiment in the method of transmitting supervisory instructions to each patient selected from dart 26. Referring to F1G. 7, clinic server 12 includes an automated telephone call processing application 82 in place of mail merge application I4 and mail server application 16. Call processing application 82 is designed to generate far each selected patient a corresponding automated telephone message 88, as shown in FICi. 8. each message 88 contains supervisory instructions for the corresponding patient.
FIG. 8 illustrates a sample automated telephone message 88. Application 82 is capable of customizing each message 88 to include for the corresponding patient the patient's name and the collection date of the patient's most recent set of measurements. The programming of an automated call processing application to generate customized messages in this manner is well known in the art.
Referring again to FIG. 7, clinic server 12 is connected to a telephone network 84 through a digital/tone signal converter D1. Each patient is provided with a dual tone multi-frequency telephone 86. Each telephone 86 is connected to telephone network 84 to receive automated telephone messages from clinic server 12.
The operation of the second embodiment differs froth the operation of the preferred embodiment in that supervisory instructions are transmitted to the selected patients in automated telephone messages rather than in electronic mail messages.
Otherwise, the operation and advantages of the second embodiment ,:ure: identical to those of the preferred embodiment described above.
SUMMARY, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE
Although the above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention but merely as illustrations of the presently preferred embodiment. Many other embodiments of the invention are possible. For example, in one alternative embodiment, each software application located on the clinic server is loaded onto the eliniciarr workstation, and the clinic server is eliminated from the system.

Each data point on chart 26 is displayed as a corresponding icon 55. Each data point represents one corresponding patient and indicates the control value and the elapsed time period determined for the corresponding patient.
Each icon 66 indicates the compliance of the cowesponding patient with the prescribed measurement regimen. Each icon 65 further indicates the completeness of the corresponding set of measurements most recently collected from the corresponding patient. Thus chart 25 allows clinician 30 to easily determine which patients in the group have been out of contact with clinic 10, which patients are having the greatest difficulty ire controlling the health corndition, and which patients are having difficulty complying with the prescribed treatanent plan.
Next, clinician 30 uses selection device 28 to select from chart 26 at least one of the patients represented thereon, step 218.

As clinician 3U selects each patient, list box 78 displays the name of each selected patient. Next clinician 30 selects send message button 76 to transmit the list of select~;d patients to mail merge application 14.
Application 14 generates for each selected patient a corresponding electronic mail message 78. Each message 78 contains supen~isory instructions for the corresponding patient. Mail merge application 14 customizes each message 78 to include for the corresponding patient, the patient's name, the patient's electronic mail address, and the collection date of the patient's most recent set of measurements. In step 220, mail server application 16 transmits each message 78 through network 34 to the correspanding patient. When the patients receive the supervisory instructions, they continue the monitoring loop with clinician 30, step 226, by returning to step 200 and repeating the method described.
The advantage of the multiple patient monitoring system of the preferred embodiment is that it allows the clinician to view and manage the medical priorities of an entire group of patients simultaneously.
