  • 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.
  • chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and so forth
  • COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • on-line e.g., Internet-based
  • the patient may not have Internet access, or may be unable to navigate a complex on-line medical database.
  • 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.
  • passive videos are difficult to personalize so as to directly address specific issues related to the patient.
  • the MotivaTM 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 MotivaTM system to adjust or personalize content to the needs of each patient.
  • the MotivaTM system can deliver personalized health care management assistance to patients on a daily or more frequent basis.
  • 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.
  • this approach can lead to information overload if the sessions are long or complex, resulting in the patient failing to comprehend important content.
  • the patient may skip a queued session entirely, which may also cause the patient to miss important content.
  • 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.
  • a server for a care management system 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.
  • a care plan management system 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.
  • a method for managing care is disclosed.
  • 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.
  • 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.

That is, the movement of the schedule pointer 70 from Day 2 to Day 3 will occur between Friday August 11 and Saturday August 12, so that on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006 the Session # 3 will be performed.
  • With movement of the schedule pointer 70 thereafter unsuspended it follows that Session # 4 will be performed on Day 4 now corresponding to Sunday Aug. 13, 2006, Session # 5 will be performed on Day 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 the processor 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 of FIGS. 4 and 6 , respectively, so as to free up the time period of patient unavailability 54 are described with reference to FIGS. 9-14 .
  • an alternative revised absolute-date schedule 80 is obtained from the initial absolute-date schedule 56 by applying different selected rescheduling rules 44 that include speeding up the schedule in the time period proximate to but after the patient unavailability time period corresponding to the vacation 54 .
  • the revised schedule 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 the vacation 54 .
  • the patient accesses both Session # 3 and Session # 4 .
  • On the third day back from vacation 54 that is, on Monday Aug.
  • Construction of the revised schedule 80 also involved adjusting assigned times of content sessions that were previously scheduled proximate to but outside of the patient unavailability time period.
  • Session # 8 which was in the initial schedule 56 assigned for presentation on Monday, Aug. 14, 2006, is in the revised schedule 80 assigned to be presented on Tuesday August 15.
  • 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.
  • 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 the schedule pointer 70 .
  • the instruction 72 is issued by the processor 26 to suspend temporal movement of the schedule pointer 70 for the selected three-day translation time interval. This frees up the three-day vacation 54 .
  • an instruction 84 is issued to increase movement speed of the schedule pointer 70 by a factor of two.
  • both the Session # 3 scheduled for Day 3 and the Session # 4 scheduled for Day 4 are accomplished in real-time on the same day, namely on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006.
  • an instruction 85 is issued to resume normal speed of the schedule pointer 70 .
  • an instruction 86 is issued to increase movement speed by a factor of two.
  • both the Session # 6 scheduled for Day 6 and the Session # 7 scheduled for Day 7 are accomplished in real-time on the same day, namely on Monday Aug. 14, 2006.
  • an instruction 87 is issued to resume normal speed of the schedule pointer 70 . Accordingly, on Day 8 corresponding to Tuesday Aug. 15, 2006, only Session # 8 is presented. On Day 9 corresponding to Wednesday Aug. 16, 2006, an instruction 88 is issued to increase movement speed by a factor of two. In this way, both the Session # 9 scheduled for Day 9 and the Session # 10 scheduled for Day 10 are accomplished in real-time on the same day, namely on Wednesday Aug. 16, 2006. On Day 11 which in real-time is now Thursday Aug. 17, 2006, an instruction 89 is issued to resume normal speed of the schedule pointer 70 . Accordingly, on Day 11 corresponding to Thursday Aug. 17, 2006, only Session # 11 is presented. Thereafter, the scheduling is back to the initial scheduling of FIG. 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 of FIG. 9 .
  • revised absolute-date schedule 90 differs from the revised schedule 80 of FIG. 9 in that the session # 3 is doubled-up with Session # 2 on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2006, which is proximate to but before the patient unavailability time period corresponding to the vacation 54 .
  • This approach is optionally used if the patient provides enough advance notice of the patient unavailability or other selected time period 54 .
  • a portion of the speeded-up scheduling is disposed temporally before the patient unavailability time period corresponding to the vacation 54 , so that after the vacation 54 only two doubled-up days are needed (Sunday August 13 and Tuesday August 15 in the revised schedule 90 of FIG. 11 ) to get back onto the initial schedule after the vacation 54 .
  • 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 of FIG. 4 .
  • the revised schedule 100 enables speeding up of the schedule portion proximate to but after the patient unavailability time period corresponding to the vacation 54 .
  • the Sessions # 3 , # 4 , and # 5 which were previously scheduled coincident with the patient unavailability time period 54 are now omitted.
  • the Sessions # 6 , # 7 , and # 8 which were previously scheduled subsequent to the patient unavailability time period 54 are replaced by modified Sessions # 6 ′, # 7 ′, and # 8 ′ which include make-up material corresponding to that of omitted Sessions # 3 , # 4 , and # 5 .
  • This approach can be useful in that the modified Sessions # 6 ′, # 7 ′, and # 8 ′ may include the subject matter of the omitted Sessions # 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 revised schedule 80 .
  • implementing the schedule 100 calls for availability of the modified Sessions # 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 of FIG. 4 .
  • the revised schedule 110 is similar to the revised schedule 56 ′ of FIG. 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 the vacation 54 .
  • the revised schedule 110 differs from the revised schedule 56 ′ in two ways. First, a four-day translation is used, rather than a three-day translation. Thus, in the revised schedule 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.
  • FIG. 14 depicts another alternative revised absolute-date schedule 120 constructed from the initial absolute-date schedule 56 of FIG. 4 .
  • the revised schedule 120 is similar to the revised schedule 56 ′ of FIG. 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 the vacation 54 .
  • the revised schedule 120 differs from the revised schedule 56 ′ in that on the first day after the vacation 54 , that is on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006, an added content session 122 , namely Session HS containing an interactive health survey, is presented.
  • the health survey Session HS 122 is doubled-up with Session # 3 on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006.
  • Session HS 122 The patient answers questions presented in Session HS 122 , which may for example include an interactive quiz, survey, test, or questionnaire.
  • the illustrated revised schedule 120 is tentative in that the scheduled presentation of Session # 3 and subsequent sessions is conditional upon the survey answers indicating that the patient is in satisfactory condition.
  • 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 to Session # 1 for review purposes, or starting a different series targeting a more pressing condition that developed during the vacation.
  • the content sessions are organized into modules, such as the illustrated Goal Module # 1 and Goal Module # 2 of FIG. 15 .
  • Goal Module # 1 is constructed of the Sessions # 1 -# 10 of the schedule of FIG. 4
  • Goal Module # 2 is constructed of different Sessions #A-#H.
  • the Goal Module # 1 may be directed toward the goal of increasing patient exercise, while the Goal Module # 2 may be directed toward a different goal such as teaching the patient to use a certain medical device.
  • the two goal modules are suitably independently scheduled.
  • the initial schedule for Goal Module # 1 is the same as that of FIG. 4
  • an initial schedule 130 is constructed for Goal Module # 2 .
  • Goal Module # 2 For example, on Monday Aug.
  • Session # 1 from Goal Module # 1 and Session #A is presented from Goal Module # 2 ; on Tuesday Aug. 8, 2006 the patient is presented with Session # 2 from Goal Module # 1 and Session #B is presented from Goal Module # 2 ; and so forth.
  • the sessions of the two Goal Modules can be interleaved, e.g., presented on alternate days.
  • each of the two schedules 56 , 130 are suitably independently adjusted to achieve rescheduling that frees up the patient unavailability time period corresponding to the vacation 54 .
  • the schedule 56 is adjusted by a three-day time translation of the Sessions # 3 -# 10 to produce the revised schedule 56 ′ of FIG. 5 for Goal Module # 1 .
  • a revised schedule 130 ′ is constructed for Goal Module # 2 by speeding up the schedule 130 proximate to but outside of the vacation 54 .
  • the Session #C which was initially coincident with the vacation 54 is doubled up with Session #B on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2006 just prior to the vacation 54 .
  • Sessions #D and #E also initially coincident with the vacation 54 are doubled-up on the first day after the vacation 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 revised schedule 130 ′ for Goal Module # 2 completes on the same day as the initial schedule 130 for Goal 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 26 , 44 can be performed multiple times.
  • the initial schedules of FIG. 15 may be automatically adjusted to produce the revised schedules of FIG. 16 .
  • the schedules of FIG. 16 may be further automatically adjusted to produce a further revised schedule (not shown) that frees up the newly recognized period of patient unavailability.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • information or material can be flagged by the care plan designer or health care provider as “essential” or “non-essential”.
  • essential and non-essential are 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.
  • the non-essential material would not need to be presented.
  • the timing of the presentation of the material is dictated by the essential or non-essential flag.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • prioritization level e.g. 7
  • prioritization level e.g. 5
  • 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.
  • a session may include a video clip that can be divided into five sections and then is followed by a quiz.
  • 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.
  • the care plan may only include the sections of the session or material presentation that are deemed high priority or essential.
