Abstract: A system provides clinicians with realtime medication suggestions. A treatment decision support system comprises at least one repository including information associating candidate treatment items, treatment costs, treatment supply availability, patient specific medical information and corresponding related treatment parameters. An individual treatment item is associated with multiple related treatment parameters. A communication processor accesses the information in the at least one repository. A treatment decision processor uses accessed information provided by the communication processor for providing data representing candidate treatments in response to user entry of data identifying an initial treatment based on both clinical and non-clinical factors. The non-clinical factors include lowest cost and availability and the clinical factors include patient specific medical information and predetermined treatment guidelines for treating a particular medical condition.

Abstract: A system provides clinicians with real-time adverse drug event or reaction alerts for a patient by evaluating patient information to determine if a patient is experiencing an actual or potential adverse drug event or reaction to a medication. A system manages adverse treatment events using an acquisition processor for dynamically compiling adverse medication event data indicating particular medical symptoms associated with administration of corresponding particular medications to patients by acquiring adverse medication event indicative data from multiple different sources. A data processor automatically, monitors data sources employed by a clinical information system to identify data indicating medical symptoms of a particular patient and compares the medical symptoms of the particular patient with medical symptoms in the dynamically compiled adverse medication event data to identify matching symptoms.
