Description
- The following relates to the health management arts. It finds particular application in conjunction with out-patient management of chronic illnesses such as congestive heart failure, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and so forth, and will be described with particular reference thereto. It finds application more generally in conjunction with methods and apparatuses for providing care management for: chronic diseases; rehabilitation from a catastrophic event such as a stroke or an automobile accident; managing weight; controlling insomnia; redressing health-impacting lifestyle issues such as smoking or poor diet or inadequate physical exercise; avoiding potential medical conditions such as osteoporosis or tooth decay; and so forth.
- Medical professionals recognize that providing extended-term health care management assistance to chronically ill patients is an important aspect of treating the chronic illness and assuring the patient a high quality of life. Extended term health management is typically performed on an out-patient basis, and is typically wholly or in large part self-administered, perhaps with occasional help from weekly therapy classes or so forth. It is well known, however, that patients often fail to adequately follow the prescribed health care plan outside of a hospital or other supervised setting. This failure can result from lack of understanding of how to perform health care activities, apathy or lack of motivation, fear of failure, or so forth.
- Such problems can in principle be overcome by increased one-on-one interaction between the patient and medical personnel. For example, a daily visit to the patient by a traveling nurse could help ensure that the patient is taking medications in a timely fashion and following prescribed dietary and exercise regimens. However, it is often not feasible to provide such intensive one-on-one sessions due to high cost, lack of available medical personnel, or so forth.
- In some cases, the patient can choose to access a hospital website or other on-line (e.g., Internet-based) medical database to pull information relevant to the patient's care plan. However, the patient may not have Internet access, or may be unable to navigate a complex on-line medical database. Moreover, providing access to on-line databases does nothing to help patients who are unmotivated. Other approaches that have been used include providing the patient with instructional or motivational videos. However, these approaches do not provide interactive assistance of a type likely to encourage the patient to follow care plan regimens. Moreover, passive videos are difficult to personalize so as to directly address specific issues related to the patient.
- Royal Philips Electronics, Cardiovascular Associates of the Delaware Valley, and Comcast Corporation have announced a cooperative effort called Motiva™ to provide a test group of chronic heart failure patients with a remote patient management broadband-enabled platform for connecting the test patients with their healthcare community. The Motiva™ system provides a cable television-based interactive health care management platform, in which content such as educational video, medication scheduling, personalized encouragement and reinforcement, and so forth, is pushed to the patient based on a personalized health care plan. Feedback from the patient, for example through the use of interactive surveys, enables the Motiva™ system to adjust or personalize content to the needs of each patient. The Motiva™ system can deliver personalized health care management assistance to patients on a daily or more frequent basis.
- One problem that arises in maintaining such a personalized interactive care management system is time management. Typically, the care plan is organized into content sessions that are presented to the patient on a pre-determined schedule. This approach works well as long as the patient adheres to the schedule. However, the patient may go on vacation, take a work-related trip, or encounter another situation which causes the patient to miss one or more scheduled sessions.
- The patient may attempt to “squeeze in” the missed session by accessing several sessions in succession on the same day or over a few days. However, this approach can lead to information overload if the sessions are long or complex, resulting in the patient failing to comprehend important content. Alternatively, the patient may skip a queued session entirely, which may also cause the patient to miss important content. Moreover, in some cases, it may not be enough to access the queued sessions. For example, if the patient goes on a long vacation, it may be appropriate for the patient to review one or more sessions that had been presented before commencement of the vacation, in order to allow the patient to catch up.
- The following contemplates improvements that overcome the aforementioned limitations and others.
- According to one aspect, a server for a care management system is disclosed, including storage and at least one processor. The storage contains (i) care management-related content for a plurality of content sessions and (ii) a patient care plan associated with a corresponding patient. The patient care plan includes at least a schedule for presenting selected content sessions to the patient. The at least one processor is configured to control communication of content sessions to the patient in accordance with the patient care plan and to automatically adjust the schedule of the patient care plan to free up a selected time period.
- According to another aspect, a care plan management system is disclosed. Storage contains (i) care management-related content and (ii) a patient care plan including at least a schedule for presenting selected care management-related content. A user interface is configured to receive and present care management-related content. At least one processor communicates with the storage and the user interface. The at least one processor is configured to communicate care management-related content to the user interface in accordance with the patient care plan and to automatically adjust the schedule of the patient care plan to free up a selected time period.
- According to another aspect, a method is disclosed for managing care. A patient care plan is stored, including at least a schedule for presenting selected content to the patient. The selected content is communicated to a patient in accordance with the patient care plan. During the course of said communicating, the schedule of the patient care plan is automatically adjusted to free up a selected time period.
- One advantage resides in a well-ordered resumption of a patient care plan after a vacation or other interruption of the plan.
- Another advantage resides in ensuring that the patient does not miss information or other content of the patient's care plan due to vacation or other interruption of the plan
- Another advantage resides in enabling a patient to get back on schedule after a vacation or other interruption of a care plan, while avoiding overloading the patient with content upon resumption of the plan.
- Numerous additional advantages and benefits will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
- The invention may take form in various components and arrangements of components, and in various process operations and arrangements of process operations. The drawings are only for the purpose of illustrating preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

FIG. 16 diagrammatically shows independently revised absolute-date schedules for the two goal modules constructed from the initial absolute-date schedules ofFIG. 15 . Both revised schedules free up the vacation period. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , a personalized interactivecare management system 10 includes aserver 12 for distributing care management-related content. In theexample system 10, the content is arranged in acontent database 14 stored onstorage 16. Theserver 12 can be embodied in various ways, such as by a centralized computer or computer server, a desktop computer, or so forth. The care management-related content is suitably arranged as content sessions each of which typically includes video content, textual content, surveys, questionnaires, or so forth, or various combinations thereof. For example, content sessions may be provided that are directed toward aspects of reducing weight, stopping smoking, learning to self-administer a medication, learning to use a biometric monitor, learning to follow a dietary restriction such as a low-salt diet, learning to follow a dietary requirement such as a high-fiber diet, performing a physical exercise, or so forth. Optionally, a session may include more than one task or element, such as both audio-video content and a weight measurement acquisition, or patient instruction content followed by an interactive quiz, or so forth. - To enable personalized distributing of content, each patient in the
system 10 has an associated care plan that in the illustrated embodiment is stored in a care planspartition 18 of thestorage 16. Theexample storage 16 is logically partitioned to define thecontent database 14 and thecare plan storage 18; however, in other embodiments the storage may include two or more storage elements, which may be different storage media, for storing the care management-related content and the care plan or care plans. In the illustrated embodiment, thestorage 16 stores acare plan 21 forPatient # 1, acare plan 22 forPatient # 2, and acare plan 23 forPatient # 3. While only three care plans 21, 22, 23 associated with a corresponding threePatients # 1, #2, #3 are illustrated, it is contemplated that theserver 12 may store care plans for hundreds or thousands of different patients. As used herein, the term “patient” encompasses persons recovering from surgery, stroke, heart failure, or another condition, persons suffering a chronic illness, or so forth. As used herein, the term “patient” also encompasses other users of thehealth management system 10 who may be generally healthy but who are following a health management program assisted by thesystem 10 to maintain fitness, control weight, avoid osteoporosis, or otherwise maintain a healthy condition or make health-related lifestyle modifications. - A
processor 26 determines content to be distributed to each patient based on a schedule of the patient care plan of that patient. Theprocessor 26 is configured to control communication of content to the patient in accordance with the patient care plan of that patient. Optionally, rules are applied to determine which content is presented to which patient or patients, the ordering of such content presentation, and so forth. Such rules are optionally used to construct the schedule of each patient care plan. For example, care plan templates may be provided that specify selected content sessions and an order of presentation or linkages between the selected content sessions. Alternatively, the schedule can be constructed more directly, for example by a physician who selects which content sessions to send to his or her patient, and in what order. Acommunication interface 28 of theserver 12 communicates the selected care management-related content to the patient at his or her respective user interface. For example: thecommunication interface 28 communicates content intended forPatient # 1 to auser interface 31 that is accessible byPatient # 1; thecommunication interface 28 communicates content intended forPatient # 2 to auser interface 32 that is accessible byPatient # 2; thecommunication interface 28 communicates content intended forPatient # 3 to auser interface 33 that is accessible byPatient # 3; and so forth. - The
user interfaces server 12 via thecommunication interface 28. For example, theuser interfaces communication interface 28 is operatively connected with each of theuser interfaces pathways 36 such as the Internet, a cable television network, a satellite television network, a cellular telephone network, or so forth. Moreover, thecommunication interface 28 optionally includes more than one communication interface. For example, it is contemplated for different user interfaces to connect with thecommunication interface 28 by different pathways each employing different interface hardware and software. For example, theuser interface 31 might be a computer operatively connected with thecommunication interface 28 by the Internet, while theuser interface 32 might be a cellphone connected with thecommunication interface 28 by a cellular telephone network. To construct such an embodiment, thecommunication interface 28 suitably includes an Internet port component, and a cellular telephone network port. The pathway orpathways 36 are advantageously secure links because private medical information may be conveyed across the pathway orpathways 36. However, unsecured pathways can also be used. Similarly, eachuser interface Patient # 1 may be able to access theserver 12 by his or her computer and also by his or her cellphone. Optionally, the user interface may include one or more biometric feedback monitors each of which measures at least one biometric parameter of an patient that is communicated to the server via thecommunication interface 28. Suitable biometric monitors may include, for example: a saturated blood oxygen level (SpO2) monitor; a heart rate monitor; a blood pressure monitor; a weight scale; an electrocardiograph (ECG); or so forth. Biometric feedback monitors may be patient-activated—for example, the patient may weigh himself or herself, and then input the weight via theuser interface - Maintenance of the
server 12 is suitably performed by an administrator via anadministrator interface 40. In some embodiments, theadministrator interface 40 is suitably a network administrator account having a high level of access to theserver 12. The administrator may, for example, add new care management-related content, delete obsolete or outdated care management-related content, organize content, modify or update content flow rules, or so forth. In some embodiments, medical personnel such as doctors or nurses can directly generate and/or update the patient care plans 21, 22, 23 by directly accessing theserver 12 via medical personnel interfaces 41, 42. Medical personnel are optionally assigned a lower level of access through a regular user account or other network account providing lower level access limited, for example, to patients of a doctor who is accessing thesystem 10. For example, the first medical personnel interface 41 accesses the patient care plans 21, 22 ofPatients # 1 and #2 who are patients of the doctor employing the firstmedical personnel interface 41, while the second medical personnel interface 42 accesses thepatient care plan 23 ofPatient # 3 who is a patient of the doctor employing the secondmedical personnel interface 42. In some embodiments, medical personnel interfaces 41, 42 are omitted, and one or more system administrators perform all creation and updating of the patient care plans 21, 22, 23 via theadministrator interface 40, and in accordance with instructions from the patient's physician or other medical personnel. - The personalized interactive
care management system 10 depicted inFIG. 1 is an example of a relatively centralized system having data storage and computational aspects being disposed at acentralized server 12. Other layouts or system configurations can be employed. For example, theserver 12 can be a distributed server embodied by two or more intercommunicating physical computers or other electronic devices communicating via a wired or wireless local area network, the Internet, or another network. - As another example layout or configuration, in some contemplated embodiments copies of the stored data and processing instructions and rules are loaded onto the patient's home computer, laptop computer, PDA, cellphone, or other personal electronic device as a local instance of the management system. The local instance can be loaded onto the patient's computer or other personal electronic device from a compact optical disk (CD) or other portable storage element, or can be loaded by data transmission via the Internet, a cellular telephone network, or so forth. Each patient receives a copy of the system with only his or her own patient care plan included. The patient's home computer embodies the
server 12 by executing the local instance of the system, and also embodies theuser interface - With continuing reference to
FIG. 1 , eachpatient care plan rules 44 configures theprocessor 26 to automatically adjust the schedule of the patient care plan to free up a patient unavailability time period or other selected time period during which one or more content sessions were originally scheduled. The re-scheduling rules are typically set up by medical personnel when the schedule is constructed or at the time of the re-scheduling; however, it is also contemplated to configure the user interface to enable the patient to set up the re-scheduling rules. - With reference to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the first of a number of illustrative examples of applying the re-scheduling rules 44 is set forth.FIG. 2 shows aninitial schedule 46, which includes Sessions #A, #B, #C, #D, and #E scheduled for Monday Aug. 7, 2006 through Friday August 11, respectively. The patient is then scheduled to take off the weekend, namely Saturday August 12 and Sunday August 13. Note that this is not an example of patient unavailability, but rather a weekend break intentionally built into theinitial schedule 46. Sessions #F, #G, and #H are scheduled for Monday Aug. 14, 2006 through Wednesday August 16, respectively. - The
schedule 46 ofFIG. 2 employs absolute dates that are applied with reference to asystem clock 50. Thesystem clock 50 may, for example, be the system clock of a computer embodying theserver 12. In the examples illustrated herein, the schedules for the patient care plans and thesystem clock 50 each have a temporal granularity of days, which is a typical time increment for a medical care plan. For example, the patient may be expected to view an exercise video every day, take certain medications on a daily basis, or so forth. However, typical digital system clocks have very fine temporal resolution down to the level of a second or smaller time intervals, and accordingly the schedule for the medical care plan can be constructed with a smaller granularity of hours, minutes, or so forth. On the other hand, the schedule can optionally be constructed with a larger granularity such as a week-based granularity. - During the course of presenting content sessions in accordance with the
initial schedule 46 ofFIG. 2 , the patient realizes he or she has avacation 54 scheduled for three days spanning Wednesday Aug. 9, 2005 through Friday Aug. 11, 2005. Accordingly, the patient provides notice of the planned vacation to theserver 12 via his or herrespective user interface processor 26 automatically adjusts theschedule 46 in accordance with the re-scheduling rules 44 to free up the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54. - This automatic adjustment of the schedule can be done in various ways. The result of one suitable automatic adjustment is a revised
schedule 46′ shown inFIG. 3 . In the revisedschedule 46′, theprocessor 26 has translated the portion of theschedule 46 that was coincident with and subsequent to the patient unavailability or other selectedtime period 54 forward in time by a selected translation time interval of five days corresponding to the three days of vacation plus the two weekend days. Accordingly, Session C is now scheduled for Monday Aug. 14, 2006, Session D is now scheduled for Tuesday Aug. 15, 2006, Session C is now scheduled for Wednesday Aug. 16, 2006, and so forth. The three vacation days spanning August 9-11 inclusive are suitably labeled as “N/A” indicating that the patient is unavailable, or are left occupied or undesignated on the revisedschedule 46′. - With reference to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , another example is provided of applying the re-scheduling rules 44.FIG. 4 shows aninitial schedule 56, which includes Sessions #1-#10 scheduled for Monday Aug. 7, 2006 through Wednesday August 16 inclusive, respectively. Here the patient does not take off the weekend of Saturday August 12 and Sunday August 13. During the course of presenting content sessions in accordance with theinitial schedule 56 ofFIG. 4 , the patient realizes he or she has thevacation 54 scheduled for three days spanning Wednesday Aug. 9, 2005 through Friday Aug. 11, 2005. The patient provides notice of the planned vacation to theserver 12 via his or herrespective user interface processor 26 automatically adjusts theschedule 56 in accordance with the re-scheduling rules 44 to free up the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54, thus producing the revisedschedule 56′ shown inFIG. 5 . In the revisedschedule 56′, theprocessor 26 has operatively translated the portion of theschedule 56 that was coincident with and subsequent to the patient unavailability or other selectedtime period 54 forward in time by a selected translation time interval of three days corresponding to the three days of vacation. Accordingly,Session # 3 is now scheduled for Saturday Aug. 12, 2006,Session # 4 is now scheduled for Sunday Aug. 13, 2006, and so forth. - The
schedules system clock 50. However, in some embodiments the schedule does not employ absolute dates, but rather employs relative dates in conjunction with a schedule pointer. - With reference to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , an equivalent of the initial scheduling and rescheduling ofFIGS. 4 and 5 is performed using such a relative-date schedule.FIG. 6 shows an initial relative-date schedule 66, which includes the same Sessions #1-#10 as inFIG. 4 , identically scheduled for Monday Aug. 7, 2006 through Wednesday August 16 inclusive, respectively. This schedule will be interrupted by thesame vacation 54 as in the example ofFIG. 4 . However, theschedule 56 employs relative dates, so thatSession # 1 is presented onrelative Day 1,Session # 2 is presented onrelative Day 2,Session # 3 is presented onrelative Day 3, and so forth. On the date Tuesday Aug. 8, 2006, as indicated by thesystem clock 50, aschedule pointer 70 points toDay 2, so thatSession # 2 which is presented onDay 2 is presented on Tuesday Aug. 8, 2006, as indicated by thesystem clock 50. When the patient realizes he or she has thevacation 54 scheduled for three days spanning Wednesday Aug. 9, 2005 through Friday Aug. 11, 2005, the patient provides notice of the planned vacation to theserver 12 via his or herrespective user interface processor 26 automatically adjusts theschedule 66 in accordance with the re-scheduling rules 44 to free up the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54, thus producing the revised relative-date schedule 66′ shown inFIG. 7 . In the revisedschedule 66′, theprocessor 26 has operatively translated the portion of theschedule 66 that was coincident with and subsequent to the patient unavailability time period forward in time by a selected translation time interval of three days corresponding to the three days of vacation. Accordingly,Session # 3 is now scheduled forrelative Day 6 corresponding to Saturday Aug. 12, 2006,Session # 4 is now scheduled forrelative Day 7 corresponding to Sunday Aug. 13, 2006,Session # 5 is now scheduled forrelative Day 8 corresponding to Monday Aug. 14, 2006, and so forth. Thus, the re-scheduling from the initial relative-date schedule 66 to the revised relative-date schedule 66′ is equivalent to the re-scheduling from the initial absolute-date schedule 56 to the revised absolute-date schedule 56′. - With reference to
FIG. 8 , re-scheduling can also be performed by a different type of automatic adjustment when using a relative-date schedule such as theinitial schedule 66. Because the dates are relative, a three-day operative translation of the portion of the schedule coincident with and subsequent to thevacation 54 can be achieved by issuing aninstruction 72 to suspend temporal movement of theschedule pointer 70 for the selected three-day translation time interval. In this way, the movement of theschedule pointer 70 fromDay 2 toDay 3 will not occur for three days after the present Aug. 8, 2006 date. That is, the movement of theschedule pointer 70 fromDay 2 toDay 3 will occur between Friday August 11 and Saturday August 12, so that on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006 theSession # 3 will be performed. With movement of theschedule pointer 70 thereafter unsuspended, it follows thatSession # 4 will be performed onDay 4 now corresponding to Sunday Aug. 13, 2006,Session # 5 will be performed onDay 5 now corresponding to Monday Aug. 14, 2006, and so forth. - The revised schedule produced by the automatic adjustment depends upon the choice of rescheduling
rules 44 followed by theprocessor 26 in performing the schedule adjustment. Some further illustrative examples of suitable automatic adjustments of the absolute-date or relative-date initial schedules 56, 66 ofFIGS. 4 and 6 , respectively, so as to free up the time period ofpatient unavailability 54 are described with reference toFIGS. 9-14 . - With reference to
FIG. 9 , an alternative revised absolute-date schedule 80 is obtained from the initial absolute-date schedule 56 by applying different selected reschedulingrules 44 that include speeding up the schedule in the time period proximate to but after the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54. The revisedschedule 80 includes a doubling-up of content sessions on the dates of Saturday Aug. 12, 2006, Monday Aug. 14, 2006, and Wednesday Aug. 16, 2006 which are proximate to but outside of the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54. On the first day back fromvacation 54, that is, on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006, the patient accesses bothSession # 3 andSession # 4. On the third day back fromvacation 54, that is, on Monday Aug. 14, 2006, the patient accesses bothSession # 6 andSession # 7. On the fifth day back fromvacation 54, that is, on Wednesday Aug. 16, 2006, the patient accesses bothSession # 9 andSession # 10. Comparison with theinitial schedule 56 ofFIG. 4 shows that by the end of the fifth day back, the patient is back on schedule. Hence, any future sessions (such asunillustrated Session # 11,Session # 12, and so forth) are unchanged between theinitial schedule 56 and the revisedschedule 80. (It will be noted, by contrast, that the revisedschedule 56′ ofFIG. 5 always remains three days behind theinitial schedule 56 after the translational three-day revision without speed-up of the schedule.) Construction of the revisedschedule 80 also involved adjusting assigned times of content sessions that were previously scheduled proximate to but outside of the patient unavailability time period. Thus, for example,Session # 8, which was in theinitial schedule 56 assigned for presentation on Monday, Aug. 14, 2006, is in the revisedschedule 80 assigned to be presented on Tuesday August 15. - When using relative-time scheduling, a speeded-up schedule can be constructed in the same way as the absolute-
time schedule 80 was constructed, that is, by shifting the assigned times of sessions (albeit in relative time) appropriately. - With reference to
FIG. 10 , another approach can be used to generate a revised speeded-up relative-time schedule. The relative-time schedule 66 continues to be followed, but with the automatic schedule adjustments being operatively achieved by adjusting the movement of theschedule pointer 70. As in the automatic adjusting ofFIG. 8 , atDay 2 theinstruction 72 is issued by theprocessor 26 to suspend temporal movement of theschedule pointer 70 for the selected three-day translation time interval. This frees up the three-day vacation 54. Upon resumption of movement of theschedule pointer 70 atDay 3, an instruction 84 is issued to increase movement speed of theschedule pointer 70 by a factor of two. In this way, both theSession # 3 scheduled forDay 3 and theSession # 4 scheduled forDay 4 are accomplished in real-time on the same day, namely on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006. OnDay 5 which in real-time is now Sunday Aug. 13, 2006, an instruction 85 is issued to resume normal speed of theschedule pointer 70. Accordingly, onDay 5 corresponding to Sunday Aug. 13, 2006, onlySession # 5 is presented. OnDay 6 corresponding to Monday Aug. 14, 2006, aninstruction 86 is issued to increase movement speed by a factor of two. In this way, both theSession # 6 scheduled forDay 6 and theSession # 7 scheduled forDay 7 are accomplished in real-time on the same day, namely on Monday Aug. 14, 2006. OnDay 8 which in real-time is now Tuesday Aug. 15, 2006, an instruction 87 is issued to resume normal speed of theschedule pointer 70. Accordingly, onDay 8 corresponding to Tuesday Aug. 15, 2006, onlySession # 8 is presented. OnDay 9 corresponding to Wednesday Aug. 16, 2006, aninstruction 88 is issued to increase movement speed by a factor of two. In this way, both theSession # 9 scheduled forDay 9 and theSession # 10 scheduled forDay 10 are accomplished in real-time on the same day, namely on Wednesday Aug. 16, 2006. OnDay 11 which in real-time is now Thursday Aug. 17, 2006, aninstruction 89 is issued to resume normal speed of theschedule pointer 70. Accordingly, onDay 11 corresponding to Thursday Aug. 17, 2006, onlySession # 11 is presented. Thereafter, the scheduling is back to the initial scheduling ofFIG. 6 , and so no further pointer movement adjustments are called for. It will be appreciated that this relative-date schedule processing produces the same real-time result as the revised absolute-date schedule 80 ofFIG. 9 . - With reference to
FIG. 11 , in another alternative revised absolute-date schedule 90 differs from the revisedschedule 80 ofFIG. 9 in that thesession # 3 is doubled-up withSession # 2 on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2006, which is proximate to but before the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54. This approach is optionally used if the patient provides enough advance notice of the patient unavailability or other selectedtime period 54. In effect, a portion of the speeded-up scheduling is disposed temporally before the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54, so that after thevacation 54 only two doubled-up days are needed (Sunday August 13 and Tuesday August 15 in the revisedschedule 90 ofFIG. 11 ) to get back onto the initial schedule after thevacation 54. - In the same way that the schedule can be speeded up, the schedule can also be slowed down, either by translating sessions or by changing the speed of the schedule pointer. A schedule slow-down may be desirable, for example, just before a vacation to taper off the patient's scheduled activities.

FIG. 12 depicts another alternative revised absolute-date schedule 100 constructed from the initial absolute-date schedule 56 ofFIG. 4 . The revisedschedule 100 enables speeding up of the schedule portion proximate to but after the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54. In the revisedschedule 100, theSessions # 3, #4, and #5 which were previously scheduled coincident with the patientunavailability time period 54 are now omitted. To cover the a material of these content sessions, theSessions # 6, #7, and #8 which were previously scheduled subsequent to the patientunavailability time period 54 are replaced by modifiedSessions # 6′, #7′, and #8′ which include make-up material corresponding to that of omittedSessions # 3, #4, and #5. This approach can be useful in that the modifiedSessions # 6′, #7′, and #8′ may include the subject matter of the omittedSessions # 3, #4, and #5 in an abbreviated or concise manner, thus enabling the patient to catch up more quickly than by doubling-up sessions as in the revisedschedule 80. However, implementing theschedule 100 calls for availability of the modifiedSessions # 6′, #7′, and #8′ which include the additional material. -
FIG. 13 depicts another alternative revised absolute-date schedule 110 constructed from the initial absolute-date schedule 56 ofFIG. 4 . The revisedschedule 110 is similar to the revisedschedule 56′ ofFIG. 5 that is constructed by applying a translational three-day revision to all scheduled content coincident with or subsequent to the patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54. The revisedschedule 110 differs from the revisedschedule 56′ in two ways. First, a four-day translation is used, rather than a three-day translation. Thus, in the revisedschedule 110,Session # 3 is scheduled for presentation on Sunday, Aug. 13, 2006,Session # 4 is scheduled for presentation on Monday, Aug. 14, 2006, and so forth. It will be appreciated that the four-day translation frees up both the three days of the vacation 54 (Wednesday August 9 through Friday August 11) and the first day after the vacation 54 (Saturday Aug. 12, 2006). The second difference between revisedschedule 110 and revisedschedule 56′ is thatSession # 2 which was presented on Tuesday Aug. 8, 2006, that is, just before commencement of thevacation 54, is in the revisedschedule 110 scheduled for re-presentation on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006. This approach of adjusting the schedule to re-present one or more sessions that were presented before commencement of the patientunavailability time period 54 can be useful in situations where the patient may need a refresher session. Rather than re-presenting an entire previously presented session, a different, shortened review session that summarizes the pre-vacation session may be presented after return from thevacation 54. -
FIG. 14 depicts another alternative revised absolute-date schedule 120 constructed from the initial absolute-date schedule 56 ofFIG. 4 . The revisedschedule 120 is similar to the revisedschedule 56′ ofFIG. 5 that is constructed by applying a translational three-day revision to all scheduled content coincident with or subsequent to patient unavailability time period corresponding to thevacation 54. The revisedschedule 120 differs from the revisedschedule 56′ in that on the first day after thevacation 54, that is on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006, an addedcontent session 122, namely Session HS containing an interactive health survey, is presented. The healthsurvey Session HS 122 is doubled-up withSession # 3 on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006. The patient answers questions presented inSession HS 122, which may for example include an interactive quiz, survey, test, or questionnaire. The illustrated revisedschedule 120 is tentative in that the scheduled presentation ofSession # 3 and subsequent sessions is conditional upon the survey answers indicating that the patient is in satisfactory condition. However, if the patient's answers to the healthsurvey Session HS 122 are unsatisfactory (for example, indicating a substantial weight gain over thevacation 54, an injury sustained over thevacation 54, a demonstration of insufficient retention of previously covered material, or so forth), then an alternative revised subsequent schedule may be applied, such as inserting another session which suggests that the patient schedule a follow-up visit with the doctor, suggesting that the patient go back toSession # 1 for review purposes, or starting a different series targeting a more pressing condition that developed during the vacation. - With reference to
FIGS. 15 and 16 , in some embodiments the content sessions are organized into modules, such as the illustratedGoal Module # 1 andGoal Module # 2 ofFIG. 15 .Goal Module # 1 is constructed of the Sessions #1-#10 of the schedule ofFIG. 4 , whileGoal Module # 2 is constructed of different Sessions #A-#H. For example, theGoal Module # 1 may be directed toward the goal of increasing patient exercise, while theGoal Module # 2 may be directed toward a different goal such as teaching the patient to use a certain medical device. As shown inFIG. 15 , the two goal modules are suitably independently scheduled. The initial schedule forGoal Module # 1 is the same as that ofFIG. 4 , while aninitial schedule 130 is constructed forGoal Module # 2. Thus, for example, on Monday Aug. 7, 2006 the patient is presented withSession # 1 fromGoal Module # 1 and Session #A is presented fromGoal Module # 2; on Tuesday Aug. 8, 2006 the patient is presented withSession # 2 fromGoal Module # 1 and Session #B is presented fromGoal Module # 2; and so forth. Alternatively, the sessions of the two Goal Modules can be interleaved, e.g., presented on alternate days. - With reference to
FIG. 16 , each of the twoschedules vacation 54. For example, as shown inFIG. 16 , theschedule 56 is adjusted by a three-day time translation of the Sessions #3-#10 to produce the revisedschedule 56′ ofFIG. 5 forGoal Module # 1. In contrast, a revisedschedule 130′ is constructed forGoal Module # 2 by speeding up theschedule 130 proximate to but outside of thevacation 54. Thus, the Session #C which was initially coincident with thevacation 54 is doubled up with Session #B on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2006 just prior to thevacation 54. Sessions #D and #E also initially coincident with thevacation 54 are doubled-up on the first day after thevacation 54, that is, on Saturday August 12. Session #F which was initially scheduled for Saturday August 12 (proximate to but outside of the vacation 54) is assigned a new presentation date of Sunday August 13. Session #G which was initially scheduled for Sunday August 13 (proximate to but outside of the vacation 54) is assigned a new presentation date of Monday August 14, thus doubling-up with Session #H so that the revisedschedule 130′ forGoal Module # 2 completes on the same day as theinitial schedule 130 forGoal Module # 2. The two Goal Modules may each be re-scheduled as suggested in one of the preceding embodiments or other patterns. - The rescheduling performed by the suitably configured
processor FIG. 15 may be automatically adjusted to produce the revised schedules ofFIG. 16 . Thereafter, if another period of patient unavailability arises, the schedules ofFIG. 16 may be further automatically adjusted to produce a further revised schedule (not shown) that frees up the newly recognized period of patient unavailability. Moreover, while in the illustrated embodiments entire sessions are moved or suspended, it is also contemplated to move or suspend only portions of sessions. The selected time period that is freed up by the re-scheduling can be for something other than the illustrated example of a vacation or other patient unavailability time period. For example, the re-scheduling may be to free up a selected time period in which the patient is available but wants to engage in an activity that makes it difficult to follow the schedule. As another example, the re-scheduling may free up a selected time period in order to add or insert one or more additional sessions to the schedule at the selected time period. Such added or inserted sessions may relate to different goals than the original schedule, or may reinforce the goals of the original schedule. - It should be appreciated that all of the content need not be presented to the patient, such as in cases were the patient has extended suspended period. This can occur if the patient is on extended vacation or if the patient has a different health emergency that requires direct care for a prolonged period. In such cases, it is important for the patient to receive information on a prioritized basis such that the most important portions of the care plan are provided in a more expeditious manner. The following describes some implementations for prioritization of material which would allow the patient to obtain the most essential information first, thereby preventing the patient from being overwhelmed by a large amount of missed material.
- In a most basic model, information or material can be flagged by the care plan designer or health care provider as “essential” or “non-essential”. During the course of a normal plan care, all material (i.e. essential and non-essential) is provided to the patient in accordance with the care plan. If there has been an extended period in which the patient is unavailable for whatever reason and the care plan is suspended, upon resumption, the care plan can be restructured to only provide the essential material that would have been presented during the suspended period. The presentation of the material, or the order of the sessions to be completed, can occur in any manner (such as some of the methods discussed above) to allow the patient to comfortably get back into the care plan. This could mean presenting all of the missed essential material or sessions first, or, alternatively, presenting the missed essential material in combination with new material or sessions. In such embodiments, the non-essential material would not need to be presented. However, in some alternative embodiments, the timing of the presentation of the material is dictated by the essential or non-essential flag. In such cases, the essential material is presented on a prioritized time scale, whereas the non-essential material is presented, possibly selectively, later in the care plan once the patient has caught up to the current status of the prescribed care plan.
- In a more advanced model, material or sessions can be flagged with a relative prioritization scale. The prioritization scale may be, for example, from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest prioritization. In such cases, the material or sessions missed during a suspended period would be presented in order of the prioritization flags, such that the highest level of prioritization is presented first. The prioritization flags can be used also to intertwine the missed material with the new material. In some situations, it may be desirable to present only material with a certain level of prioritization. For example, a patient may only be deemed to need material that is flagged with a prioritization level of 5 or higher. The level of prioritization that is presented to the patient may depend on the particular patient, the goal module that the material or session is a part of, the type of care plan the material or session is apart of, the overall care plan type for the patient, a survey response provided by the patient, input from the patient's doctor or care provider, the length of time of the suspension, the amount of material or sessions that were missed, the criticality of the patient, or any combination of these factors. For example, a patient that has been on a care plan suspended a longer time may have a higher prioritization level (e.g. 7) than then prioritization level (e.g. 5) given to a patient who has had a care plan suspended for a shorter time period. In another example, a patient with a more severe diagnosis may have a lower prioritization (e.g. 4) than a patient with a less severe diagnosis (e.g. 7). Another factor that can determine the prioritization level may be the patient's acuity. For example, a patient with diminished capacity may have a higher prioritization level (e.g. 8) than a more normal patient (who may have a prioritization level of 5), based on the ability to review and retain material. A person with diminished capacity may become more overwhelmed if presented more material than absolutely required. The acuity level of the patient can be entered by the health care provider, tested throughout the course of the care plan, or tested upon resumption of the care plan.
- Any of these prioritization schemes can also be applied within a specific session or material presentation. For example, a session may include a video clip that can be divided into five sections and then is followed by a quiz. In some situations, one or two sections of the video and the quiz may be deemed high priority or essential, while the remaining sections of video may be deemed low priority or non-essential. Upon resumption, the care plan may only include the sections of the session or material presentation that are deemed high priority or essential.
- The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.
