System and method for generating patient-specific prescription drug safety instructions
First Claim
1. A system for generating a patient-specific drug safety and information bulletin, the system comprising:
- an electronic data input and processing device including at least a display and means for inputting;
a medical record, specific to a particular patient, the record including at least a record of the patient'"'"'s present medications;
a database accessible by the electronic data input and processing device, the database including elements, the elements further comprising;
a multiplicity of indications, the indications describing a medical or physiological condition in accordance with a standardized usage;
a multiplicity of normalized medication indices, each index linked to selected ones of the multiplicity of indications; and
a rule set, the rule set including definition of medication interactions;
an analysis application, hosted on the electronic data input and processing device, wherein particular ones of the interactions are automatically identified upon identification of a particular patient'"'"'s medical record and input of a newly prescribed medication to the electronic data input and processing device; and
a drug safety and information bulletin template, the template including a first data portion which is automatically populated with the particular ones of the interactions specific to the particular patient.

Abstract
A particular system and methodology by which patient-specific medication safety instructions and information is defined for any particular patient in a manner that takes not only a drug'"'"'s identification, dose, and dose frequency into account, but also an entire spectrum of relevant clinical dimensions so as minimize the possibility of harmful interactions while simultaneously maximizing interaction information content. Patient-specific medication safety instructions and information are generated by an automated system that populates a template with data relevant to the patient. The template is populated by substituting layperson-intelligible terminology for symbolic logic argument elements in suitable text strings. Symbolic logic argument elements are derived from a computerized dimensional indexing system implementing multiple databases and performing therapeutic determinations by symbolic structural reasoning with respect to database elemental indices defining the symbolic logic argument elements.

7. In an electronic medical records acquisition, retention and analysis program, a method for generating patient-specific drug safety instructions and information, the method comprising:
-
accessing a database for a medical record specific to the patient, the record including elements defining the patient'"'"'s pre-existing medications, diseases, allergies, conditions and demographic status;
inputting a newly prescribed medication;
evaluating the newly prescribed medication against the patient'"'"'s database elements;
identifying interactions between the newly prescribed medication and the patient'"'"'s pre-existing medications, diseases, allergies, conditions and demographic status; and
generating patient-specific medication safety instructions literature including the identified interactions. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for generating patient-specific medication safety instructions and information in a manner that takes not only a medication'"'"'s identification, dose, and dose frequency into account, but also an entire spectrum of relevant clinical dimensions so as minimize the possibility of harmful interactions while simultaneously maximizing interaction information content, the method comprising:
-
establishing a dimensional indexing system implementing a database and performing therapeutic determinations by symbolic structural reasoning with respect to database elemental indices;
defining a template for receiving information text strings, the text strings including symbolic logic argument elements defined by the database elemental indices;
substituting layperson-intelligible terminology for symbolic logic argument elements in the text strings; and
populating the template with the substituted text strings. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
