SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SYNDROME-SPECIFIC, WEIGHTED-INCIDENCE TREATMENT REGIMEN RECOMMENDATIONS
First Claim
1. A treatment regimen guidance system comprising:
- an interface tool configured to receive a diagnosis for a current patient and arranged to communicate the diagnosis and demographic and clinical information regarding the current patient;
a guidance engine configured to receive the diagnosis and the demographic and clinical information regarding the current patient;
wherein the guidance engine is configured to calculate a treatment regimen outcome probability using the demographic and clinical information and at least one predictive model; and
wherein the interface tool is configured to display to a user an indication of the treatment regimen outcome probability.

Abstract
A system and method for guiding the selection of treatment regimens according to locality-specific and patient-specific criteria. The system and method may employ a guidance engine that determines past efficacies of multiple treatment regimens in prior patients presenting with the syndrome of interest in a given locality, then correlate those outcomes with the clinical and demographic characteristics of the prior patients and locality. The guidance engine determines the influence of multiple patient characteristics and locality trends on positive treatment outcomes, and uses such determinations to generate a report including success probabilities for various treatment regimens, given the current patient'"'"'s particular characteristics and trends within the patient'"'"'s current locality. The system and method may be implemented in a variety of embodiments, including via a networked system interfaced with a healthcare facility'"'"'s electronic medical record system, or as a stand-alone device.

8. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by a computer processor, causes the computer processor to:
-
receive patient characteristic data for a current patient; receive a diagnosis for the current patient; identify, based on weighted patient-specific and syndrome-specific data for previous patients, at least one treatment regimen that could cover the diagnosis for the subject patient; calculate a probability that the at least one treatment regimen will successfully treat the diagnosis for the subject patient; and generate a report indicating the at least one treatment regimen to a user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by a computer processor, causes the computer processor to implement a treatment regimen guidance system by:
-
obtaining and storing characteristics regarding prior incidences of a syndrome of interest within a locality of interest via an electronic medical record system; determining outcomes of combinations of treatments on the syndrome of interest; generating models indicating influences of the characteristics on the outcomes of the combinations of treatments; and storing the models for use in determining probabilities that a combination of treatments will successfully treat the syndrome of interest in a patient.
