Abstract
In a medical health care network () for providing individualized health care programming to many patients, a method and apparatus for updating the programming is described. When a patient is new to the system, a health care professional takes a generic care plan template () and fills it in with the patient's specific health information. A care plan scheduler (), using a completed template (), assigns content for the patient to experience. When new content becomes available, the health care professional notes it on the template (). The scheduler () then looks for all instances of the old content and replaces it with the new content in the most seamless way possible. A content replacement database () interprets old data in light of the new content so that the old data does not become misleading or obsolete.
