  • Publication number: 20060235280
    Abstract: An electronic health care management system is provided which collects both subjective and objective information regarding a patient into a clinical patient record, and uses the record to determine evidence-based recommendations. A healthcare provider may decide to implement certain recommendations, and/or provide additional interventions which are collectively implemented using automated support tools. Often, a plan can include follow-up activities which may be automatically scheduled by the electronic health care management system, and may include external scheduling programs and corresponding application-programming interfaces (APIs).
