Streamlined and integrated patient care and health information management systems and methods for reducing the need for costly, near constant patient monitoring by providing system components that allow healthcare professionals to view the most important data for a number of patients in varying physical locations in a seamless manner are disclosed. Various components of the system can be used to monitor patients; measure, record, and track vital signs; and coordinate patient care in an automated fashion. Patients that have a achieved a relatively stable condition during a recovery process, but who still require or would benefit from near constant, or frequent vital sign monitoring can be provided with one or more body worn vital sign sensors. These patient worn sensors can track vital sign and other information about patients, including patient movement, activity, and sleep patterns. |

1. A computer-implemented method for coordinating patient care, the method comprising:
accessing, by a computer system, a patient profile record for a patient, the patient profile record including:
a patient identifier for the patient;vital sign information received from a patient-worn mobile sensor associated with the patient;care information derived from user input received from a first caregiver, the care information indicating at least one medical occurrence associated with the patient; andcare group information referencing one or more first user profile records, wherein each first user profile record is associated with a person in the patient's care group; identifying, by the computer system, information associated with the patient profile record indicating a scheduled future medical occurrence for the patient and a specified medical occurrence type for the scheduled future medical occurrence; accessing medical occurrence requirements information defining medical occurrence requirements for medical occurrences of the specified medical occurrence type, the medical occurrence requirements information including indications of one or more caregiver types associated with the specified medical occurrence; identifying, by the computer system, a second user profile record for a second caregiver, wherein the second user profile record is distinct from the one or more first user profile records, and the second caregiver is not in the patient's care group prior the identifying of the second user profile record by the computer system, and wherein the identifying includes matching a particular caregiver type of the one or more caregiver types to information included in the second user profile record indicating that the second caregiver is a caregiver of the particular caregiver type; and adding, in response to identifying the second user profile record for the second caregiver, the second caregiver to the patient's care group by adding a first reference to the second user profile record to the care group information of the patient profile record, and adding a second reference to the patient profile record to the second caregiver record, the second reference enabling the second caregiver to access restricted patient information included in the patient profile record using a computing device. |
