Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for adjudicating instructions prior to programming an ambulatory medical device to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device, including receiving a programming instruction for the ambulatory medical device generated at a first time, implementing adjudication of the programming instruction to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device, and suspending the received programming instruction or programming the ambulatory medical device based on the adjudication to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device.
Claims20
A system for adjudicating instructions prior to programming an ambulatory medical device to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memory devices storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processor, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a programming instruction for the ambulatory medical device generated at a first time;
- implementing adjudication of the programming instruction to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device, including at least one of:
- determining whether a threshold time has elapsed since generation of the programming instruction at the first time without successful connection to, implementation of, or confirmation of implementation of the programming instruction at the ambulatory medical device;
- determining whether a previous or subsequent programming instruction for the ambulatory medical device is pending without implementation or confirmation of implementation at the ambulatory medical device;
- or
- determining whether a change in the ambulatory medical device or a patient since generation of the programming instruction at the first time, from a time of communication of information out of the ambulatory medical device preceding generation of the programming instruction at the first time, or a combination thereof, exceeds a threshold change;
- and
- based on the adjudication, suspending the received programming instruction or programming the ambulatory medical device to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device.
A method for adjudicating instructions prior to programming an ambulatory medical device to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device, the method comprising:
- receiving a programming instruction for the ambulatory medical device generated at a first time;
- implementing adjudication of the programming instruction to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device, including at least one of:
- determining whether a threshold time has elapsed since generation of the programming instruction at the first time without successful connection to, implementation of, or confirmation of implementation of the programming instruction at the ambulatory medical device;
- determining whether a previous or subsequent programming instruction for the ambulatory medical device is pending without implementation or confirmation of implementation at the ambulatory medical device;
- or
- determining whether a change in the ambulatory medical device or a patient since generation of the programming instruction at the first time, from a time of communication of information out of the ambulatory medical device preceding generation of the programming instruction at the first time, or a combination thereof, exceeds a threshold change;
- and
- based on the adjudication, suspending the received programming instruction or programming the ambulatory medical device to optimize resources of the ambulatory medical device.
