Abstract: A system and corresponding method for post-treatment patient compliance for a medical patient is performed by a system having a memory operable to retain a series of instructions, and a processor operable to retrieve and execute the instructions to perform a series of steps. One step includes receiving as a first input any one of: information from a patient management system regarding the patient; information from a patient interview conducted with the patient; and information from one or more manual inputs. A patient treatment plan is generated based on the first input. As a second input, any one of: a drug interaction based information; an evidence-based clinical decision information; and a custom clinical input information, are received. Also, a third input of a treatment recommendation process is received. A comparison based on any two of the above first, second and third inputs is performed. A post-treatment recommendation specific to the patient is determined for the patient based on the comparison.

Abstract: A clam-shell bracket for defining a mounting flange on a structural member, such as a hydroformed vehicle cross-member or frame rail, includes a lower body featuring an integrated locating feature with which to preposition the bracket on the structural member, and permanently-attached male threaded fasteners with which to thereafter secure the bracket to the structural member. The bracket further includes a hinged upper body having slotted bolt holes through which the lower body's fasteners may freely pass as the upper body is pivoted into the assembled position, thereby reducing the time required for bracket installation. The use of fasteners on the both the hinged end and opposite end of the lower clamp body provides an improved clamping force about the structural member, while the improved clamping force cooperates with the mating locating features of the bracket and the structural member to improve the lateral applied load transfer therebetween.
