System and method for intelligence building in an expert system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of evaluating treatment decisions, comprising:
- receiving a specification of a decided treatment for a patient having a given disease, the decided treatment differing from a recommended treatment identified by an expert system in response to analysis of symptomatic data corresponding to the patient;
creating an outcome test specification defining at least one check point with respect to the given disease which is suitable for evaluation of a treatment result obtained with the decided treatment;
creating, on the basis of the outcome test specification, a database watcher configured to analyze data which is subsequently provided for the patient with respect to the at least one check point to monitor progress of the given disease;
executing the database watcher to determine the treatment result on the basis of the analyzed data; and
notifying a medical institution of the determined treatment result.

Abstract
A method, system and article of manufacture for intelligence building in expert systems and, more particularly, for evaluating treatment decisions overriding recommended treatments that are generated by expert systems. One embodiment provides a method of evaluating treatment decisions, comprising receiving a specification of a decided treatment for a patient having a given disease. The decided treatment differs from a recommended treatment identified by an expert system in response to analysis of symptomatic data corresponding to the patient. The patient is monitored subsequent to being treated according to the decided treatment. The decided treatment is evaluated on the basis of data captured by the monitoring. On the basis of the evaluation, feedback with respect to the decided treatment and the recommended treatment is generated.

20. A system, comprising:
-
an expert system configured to determine a recommended treatment in response to analysis of symptomatic data corresponding to a patient having a given disease; and
an intelligence unit for evaluating treatment decisions, the intelligence unit being configured to;
receive a specification of a decided treatment for the patient, the decided treatment differing from the recommended treatment;
create an outcome test specification defining at least one check point with respect to the given disease which is suitable for evaluation of a treatment result obtained with the decided treatment;
create, on the basis of the outcome test specification, a database watcher configured to analyze data which is subsequently provided for the patient with respect to the at least one check point to monitor progress of the given disease;
execute the database watcher to determine the treatment result on the basis of the analyzed data;
evaluate the decided treatment on the basis of the treatment result; and
generate, on the basis of the evaluation, feedback with respect to the decided treatment and the recommended treatment.
