SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
First Claim
1. An interactive computer assisted method in a clinical computing environment for providing clinical decision support, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving from a user, at a processing device, primary clinical information associated with a patient, wherein the primary clinical information includes one or more primary clinical terms;
b) deriving, by the processing device, expanded clinical information from the user-provided primary clinical information, wherein said expanded clinical information includes one or more expanded clinical terms;
c) identifying, by the processing device, one or more relevant rules based on the user-provided primary clinical information and the expanded clinical information,d) computing, by the processing device, the diagnostic relevancy score for each identified rule, ande) displaying each identified relevant rule to the user in ranked order based on the rule'"'"'s computed diagnostic relevancy score.

Abstract
A clinical decision support system comprises a memory device having a plurality of routines stored therein, a processor configured to execute the plurality of routines stored in the memory device, the plurality of routines comprising a routine configured to receive primary clinical information from a user associated with a patient, a routine configured to derive expanded clinical information from the user-provided primary clinical information, a routine configured to identify relevant rules from a data store based on the user-provided clinical information and the expanded clinical information, a routine configured to compute a diagnostic relevancy score for each of the identified relevant rules; a routine configured to assign by the processing device the computed diagnostic relevancy score to each identified relevant rule, and a routine configured to display each identified rule in ranked order based on the rule'"'"'s assigned diagnostic relevancy score.

13. A system comprising:
-
a memory device having a plurality of routines stored therein; a processor configured to execute the plurality of routines stored in the memory device, the plurality of routines comprising; a routine configured to, when executed, receive primary clinical information from a user associated with a patient; a routine configured to, when executed, derive expanded clinical information from the user-provided primary clinical information; a routine configured to, when executed, identify relevant rules from a data store based on the user-provided clinical information and the expanded clinical information; a routine configured to, when executed, compute a diagnostic relevancy score for each of the identified relevant rules; a routine configured to, when executed, assign, by the processing device, the computed diagnostic relevancy score to each identified relevant rule; and a routine configured to, when executed, display each identified rule in ranked order based on the rule'"'"'s assigned diagnostic relevancy score. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
