1. A method of generating and communicating comparative therapy information for medical device users, the method comprising the steps of:
collecting patient data associated with a plurality of medical device users, wherein treatment of the medical device users is managed by a plurality of healthcare professionals (HCPs), and the plurality of HCPs comprises a customer HCP and a plurality of non-customer HCPs;
receiving a first set of attributes for a first individual patient or a first group of patients under care of the customer HCP;
receiving a second set of attributes for a second individual patient or a second group of patients;
identifying, from the collected patient data, a first set of patient records associated with the customer HCP that satisfy the received first attributes;
identifying, from the collected patient data, a second set of patient records that satisfy the received second attributes;
analyzing aggregated patient data for the first set of patient records to generate a first set of one or more statistics related to medical device usage;
analyzing aggregated patient data for the second set of patient records to generate a second set of one or more statistics related to medical device usage;
comparing the first set of one or more statistics from the identified first set of patient records against the second set of one or more statistics from the identified second set of patient records to detect a difference between patient outcomes;
in response to detecting the difference between patient outcomes, analyzing the first set of patient records to identify a medical device setting as a cause of the difference between the patient outcomes;
generating a comparative therapy report that indicates results of the comparing step, wherein the comparative therapy report indicates the medical device setting as the cause of the difference between the patient outcomes;
communicating, over a data communication network, a web page including the comparative therapy report to a client device associated with the customer HCP, wherein the comparative therapy report includes a therapy adjustment suggestion to adjust the medical device setting for the first individual patient or the first group of patients; and
initiating, over the data communication network, automatic adjustment of the medical device setting for the first individual patient or the first group of patients in response to the customer HCP selecting an active user interface button or link displayed in combination with the therapy adjustment suggestion on the comparative therapy report.
