EXTENSIBLE THERAPY DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An extensible therapy delivery system for an individual comprising:
- a clinical rules module comprising one or more existing clinical rules and is extensible to receive one or more new validated clinical rules;
a domain module comprising existing individual-specific clinical data and base logic, the domain module is extensible to receive new individual-specific clinical data and additional logic to the base logic to support the one or more new validated clinical rules; and
a data request interface operably connected to the clinical rules module and the domain module, wherein the clinical rules module is programmed to make a request for information to the data request interface according to the one or more existing clinical rules and the one or more new validated clinical rules, when provided, in order to determine therapy for the individual, and the data request interface is programmed to forward the request to the domain module, which is programmed to answer the request using the new individual-specific clinical data and additional logic, when provided, if the existing individual-specific clinical data and the base logic are unable to answer the request, andwherein the system is configured to deliver to the individual the therapy determined by the clinical rules module from using the answer to the request provided by the domain module.

Abstract
An extensible therapy delivery system for an individual having a clinical rules module providing an existing clinical rule and is extensible to receive a new validated clinical rule and method thereof are disclosed. The extensible system also provides a domain module having existing clinical data and base logic and is extensible to receive new clinical data and additional logic to support the new validated clinical rules. The extensible system also provides a data request interface that directs a request for information from the clinical rules for the determination of therapy for the individual to the domain module, which answers the request with the existing and new clinical data and logic. The extensible system delivers to the individual the therapy determined by the clinical rules module from using the answer to the request provided by the domain module.

23. A method of determining therapy for an individual, the method comprising:
-
providing an extensible therapy delivery system comprising an extensible clinical rules module, an extensible domain module, and a data request interface; extending the extensible clinical rules module to integrate one or more new validated clinical rules with one or more existing clinical rules, and the one or more new validated clinical rules and the one or more existing clinical rules being defined to determine therapy for the individual; extending the extensible domain module to integrate new individual-specific clinical data and additional logic with existing individual-specific clinical data and base logic, the new individual-specific clinical data and additional logic being provided to support the one or more new validated clinical rules of the extensible clinical rules module for therapy determination for the individual; requesting information for therapy determination with the one or more new validated clinical rules of the extensible clinical rules module through the data request interface to the extensible domain module; providing the requested information to the data request interface with at least one of the existing individual-specific clinical data and the base logic, and the new individual-specific clinical data and additional logic of the extensible domain module; and determining therapy for the individual with the one or more new validated clinical rules of the extensible clinical rules module and the requested information provided from the extensible domain module.

24. A method of integrating one or more new validated clinical rules in a deployed application of an extensible therapy delivery system, the method comprising:
-
defining one or more new clinical rules for determining a therapy for an individual; validating the one or more new clinical rules by testing the one or more new clinical rules in a simulation module simulating one or more physiological conditions of the individual; editing and re-validating the one or more new clinical rules as necessary to substantially eliminate any detrimental outcomes to health of the individual identified in the simulation module; deploying the one or more new validated clinical rules with new individual-specific clinical data and additional logic to support the one or more new validated clinical rules to the deployed application of the system; extending a clinical rules module of the system to integrate the one or more new validated clinical rules; extending a domain module of the system to integrate the new individual-specific clinical data and additional logic; and delivering the therapy to the individual with the system, the therapy determined by the one or more new validated clinical rules.
