1. A decision support device comprising:
- a user interface (108) that shows a flow diagram (148) of a multi-step guideline and is operable for specifying where, along said guideline, a current stage of service to a service recipient is located (S220, S410); and
a module for determining, from the specified current stage, decision support data to be presented (S430).

Abstract
A decision support device incorporates a number of user friendly features. The device is operable to determine context by displaying a flow diagram of a clinical guideline so the clinician can select the current step in treatment (S630). Initial, automatic display of decision support data can be restricted to clinical data only (S420). Data pertinent to the current decision, and therefore automatically selected for display, can be highlighted (S340) when appearing in screens subsequently brought up by the clinician.

5. A decision support device comprising:
-
a user interface (108); a module for identifying, in a multi-step guideline, a current stage of service to a service recipient (132); and a module for determining (136), from the identified current stage, which information that is on a screen subsequent to an initial screen and that is shown on said initial screen is pertinent to making a current decision on service to be rendered, and for highlighting (S340), on said subsequent screen, the determined information. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A medical decision support device comprising:
-
a user interface (108); a module for identifying, in a predetermined multi-step guideline, a current stage of medical care of a patient or medical subject (132); and a module for determining (136), from the identified current stage, clinical information that is in a database, that has been obtained from examination, and/or treatment, of said patient or medical subject and that is pertinent to making a current medical decision on medical care to be rendered to said patient or medical subject, and for, once the determination is made, simultaneously displaying the determined information automatically and without user intervention, on a screen template on said user interface, without adding, for simultaneous display, medical information other than the obtained clinical information (S430). - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A computer-implemented medical decision support method comprising:
-
identifying a current stage, in a predetermined multi-step guideline, of medical care of a patient or medical subject (S410); determining, from the identified current stage, clinical information that is in a database, that has been obtained from examination, and/or treatment, of said patient or medical subject and that is pertinent to making a current medical decision on medical care to be rendered to said patient or medical subject (S420); and
,once the determination is made, simultaneously displaying the determined information automatically and without user intervention, in a screen template on a user interface, without adding, for simultaneous display, medical information other than the obtained clinical information (S430). - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
