1. A method for operating a heart failure analyzer for managing hospitalization of a patient, the method comprising:
receiving diagnostic data indicative of one or more conditions of the patient during a hospitalization using the heart failure analyzer, the diagnostic data including sensor data produced using one or more physiological signals sensed from the patient during the hospitalization, the one or more conditions associated with a heart failure status of the patient;
producing one or more parameters using the heart failure analyzer, the one or more parameters indicative of the heart failure status of the patient during the hospitalization using the diagnostic data; and
producing a hospital discharge recommendation signal using the heart failure analyzer based on the one or more parameters.
