Systems and methods for patient monitoring

A system for monitoring a patient's health status, the system comprising:

• a sensor circuit configured to receive physiological information from the patient;
• and
• a processor circuit configured to:
• determine a cardiac risk-indicated disposition score using (i) a first progression indicator indicating an amount of change in a first portion of the physiological information associated with a cardiac risk, and (ii) a first stability indicator indicating stability of the first portion of the physiological information over time;
• determine a pulmonary risk-indicated disposition score using (i) a second progression indicator indicating an amount of change in a second portion of the physiological information associated with a pulmonary risk, and (ii) a second stability indicator indicating stability of the second portion of the physiological information over time;
• determine a renal risk-indicated disposition score using (i) a third progression indicator indicating an amount of change in a third portion of the physiological information associated with a renal risk, and (ii) a third stability indicator indicating stability of the third portion of the physiological information over time;
• and
• based on the cardiac risk-indicated disposition score, the pulmonary risk-indicated disposition score, and the renal risk-indicated disposition score, generate a disposition indicator indicating patient disposition attributable to one of a cardiac cause, a pulmonary cause, or a renal cause.

A method for monitoring a patient using a monitor system, the method comprising:

• receiving physiological information sensed from the patient;
• for each of a plurality of risk categories, generating (i) a progression indicator indicating an amount of change in a portion of the physiological information associated with a corresponding risk category from a reference level, and (ii) a stability indicator indicating stability of the portion of the physiological information associated with the corresponding risk category over time using a processor circuit, determining a risk-indicated disposition score based on the progression indicator and the stability indicator, using a processor circuit;
• based on the risk-indicated disposition scores respectively determined for the plurality of risk categories, generating a disposition indicator indicating a cause of patient disposition;
• and
• outputting, via an output unit, the disposition indicator to a user or a process.
