PATHWAYS FOR TREATING PATIENTS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting in a user interface a pathway, the pathway for use in treating a patient with a disease and including a combination of therapeutic and diagnostic pathway elements including an integration of diagnostic, radiation, chemotherapy, surgical elements and/or other elements including those related to other procedures, disciplines or pharmacotherapy;
augmenting the pathway including providing one or more controls for accessing additional information associated with a given pathway element;
augmenting pathway elements to include indicators for pricing, efficacy and/or toxicity of a treatment associated with a given treatment element in the pathway;
augmenting the pathway with a connection to another pathway including providing a link to another pathway at a point in a given pathway to enable quick reference to the another pathway from a relevant point of the given pathway; and
presenting an augmented pathway in a user interface to a patient or treating physician.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium are provided, including a method for presenting information for treating patients. The method comprises presenting, in a user interface, a pathway for use in treating a patient with a disease and including a combination of therapeutic and diagnostic pathway elements including an integration of diagnostic, radiation, chemotherapy, surgical and other elements. The method further comprises augmenting the pathway including providing controls for accessing additional information associated with a given pathway element, augmenting pathway elements to include indicators for pricing, efficacy and/or toxicity of a treatment associated with a given treatment element, and augmenting the pathway with a connection to another pathway including providing a link to another pathway at a point in a given pathway that provides information for a related pathway. The method further comprises presenting an augmented pathway to a patient or treating physician.

14. A method for presenting treatment information to a patient or treatment professional comprising:
-
identifying a disease associated with a patient; identifying a pathway associated with the disease, the pathway including a combination of therapeutic and diagnostic pathway elements including an integration of diagnostic, radiation, chemotherapy and/or surgical elements; using a question and answer paradigm to navigate the pathway to identify a current location on the pathway that is relevant to the patient; and presenting an instantiation of the pathway in a user interface including highlighted portions that reflect a path associated with a treatment and evaluation of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25)
