Abstract
A method and system for providing diagnostic and treatment information to a health professional is disclosed. A set of diagnostic and treatment rules are applied to patient specific information inputted by the health professional during an adverse medical event. The system then selects and delivers appropriate diagnoses and treatment algorithms in response to various user inputs. An outcome analysis module receives actual treatment and response data which may then be used to confirm or modify the diagnostic and treatment rules.
