Panel diagnostic method and system
First Claim
1. A computerized medical diagnostic system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of disease objects, each disease object to reference a list comprising one or more associated patient health items representative of at least candidate diseases applicable to the patient, and collectively provide an initial differential diagnosis;
a panel module in data communication with the disease objects, the panel module comprising a plurality of diagnostic strategy processes, each of which generates a corresponding strategy differential diagnosis based on the patient health items, wherein the panel module compares at least a portion of the strategy differential diagnoses to thereby generate a panel differential diagnosis;
a computing environment operative to execute the modules, the computing environment comprising at least one processor; and
wherein the initial differential diagnosis and the panel differential diagnosis are reconciled so as to recommend an action or provide a diagnosis via output to the patient or the healthcare professional.

Abstract
A method and system for computerized medical diagnostics is disclosed. Beginning with interacting with a patient or a healthcare professional via a diagnostic module to obtain patient health items, the system automatically obtains an initial differential diagnosis and multiple strategy differential diagnoses based on the patient health items. In one embodiment, each strategy differential diagnosis is obtained with different analysis criteria of the patient health items. At least a portion of the strategy differential diagnoses are compared and a panel differential diagnosis based on the compared differential diagnoses is determined. The initial diagnosis and the panel differential diagnosis are reconciled so as to recommend an action or provide a diagnosis to the patient or the healthcare professional.
