System and method for determining a reference baseline record

Abstract

A system and method for determining a reference baseline record for use in automated patient care. One or more physiological measures are retrieved. Each of the measures relates to individual patient information recorded during an initial observation period from a patient care record. One or more reference measures are determined from the physiological measures. Each reference measure is representative of at least one of measured and derived patient information. The reference measures are stored into the patient care record indicating a reference baseline patient status.

1 . A system for determining a reference baseline record for use in automated patient care, comprising: 
 a database storing patient care records with each record containing one or more physiological measures relating to individual patient information recorded during an initial observation period; and    an analysis module determining one or more reference measures, each representative of at least one of measured and derived patient information, from the physiological measures retrieved from one such patient care record and storing the reference measures into the one such patient care record indicating a reference baseline patient status.
