Abstract

A system and method for managing an executable medical treatment plan. The system and method perform the steps of analyzing one of treatment patterns and prior treatment patterns in view of patient information to generate treatment plan recommendations using a processor, receiving a user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations via a user interface and generating a current defined treatment plan based on the treatment plan recommendations and the user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations using the processor.

Claims

1. A method for managing an executable medical treatment plan, comprising:

analyzing at least one of treatment patterns corresponding to recurring patterns in treatment plans and prior treatment plans in view of patient information to generate treatment plan recommendations using a processor;

receiving a user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations via a user interface; and

generating a current defined treatment plan based on the treatment plan recommendations and the user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations using the processor.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the current defined treatment plan to a defined treatment plan database.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying the current defined treatment plan on a display.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving second user input including one of revisions to the current defined treatment plan and updated patient information.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

analyzing the updated patient information and treatment patterns to generate updated treatment recommendations using the processor.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

receiving third user input regarding the updated treatment recommendations and generating an updated treatment plan based on the third user input regarding the updated treatment recommendations.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

storing a current executed treatment plan including updates of the updated treatment plan in an executed treatment plans database.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the current executed treatment plan includes annotations describing reasons for changes in the current defined treatment plan.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein treatment patterns are extracted from available treatment plans including prior treatment plans.

10. A system for managing an executable medical treatment plan, comprising:

a memory storing treatment patterns in a treatment patterns database and a set of instructions; and

a processor executing the instructions which causes the processor to perform operations comprising;

analyzing at least one of treatment patterns corresponding to recurring patterns in treatment plans and being stored in the treatment patterns database and prior treatment plans in view of patient information to generate treatment plan recommendations using a processor;

receiving a user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations; and

generating a current defined treatment plan based on the treatment plan recommendations and the user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations using the processor.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the memory includes a defined treatment plans database storing prior defined treatment plans and the current defined treatment.

12. The system of claim 10, further comprising:

a display displaying the current defined treatment plan.

16. The system of claim 10, wherein the memory includes an executed treatment plan database storing prior executed treatment plans and the current executed treatment plan, which includes updates of the updated treatment.

19. The system of claim 10, wherein the treatment patterns include annotations describing situations in which a particular treatment pattern is relevant.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the processor to perform operations comprising:

analyzing at least one of treatment patterns corresponding to recurring patterns in treatment plans and prior treatment plans in view of patient information to generate treatment plan recommendations using a processor;

receiving a user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations via a user interface; and

generating a current defined treatment plan based on the treatment plan recommendations and the user input regarding the treatment plan recommendations using the processor.
