First Claim
1. A treatment decision support system, comprising:
- at least one repository including information associating, candidate treatment items, treatment costs, treatment supply availability, patient specific medical information and corresponding related treatment parameters, an individual treatment item being associated with a plurality of related treatment parameters;
a communication processor for accessing said information in said at least one repository;
a treatment decision processor for using accessed information provided by said communication processor for providing data representing candidate treatments in response to user entry of data identifying an initial treatment based on both clinical and non-clinical factors, said non-clinical factors including lowest cost and availability and said clinical factors including patient specific medical information and predetermined treatment guidelines for treating a particular medical condition; and
a display processor for providing data representing at least one display image identifying said candidate treatments.

Abstract
A system provides clinicians with realtime medication suggestions. A treatment decision support system comprises at least one repository including information associating candidate treatment items, treatment costs, treatment supply availability, patient specific medical information and corresponding related treatment parameters. An individual treatment item is associated with multiple related treatment parameters. A communication processor accesses the information in the at least one repository. A treatment decision processor uses accessed information provided by the communication processor for providing data representing candidate treatments in response to user entry of data identifying an initial treatment based on both clinical and non-clinical factors. The non-clinical factors include lowest cost and availability and the clinical factors include patient specific medical information and predetermined treatment guidelines for treating a particular medical condition. A display processor provides data representing at least one display image identifying the candidate treatments.
