Abstract: A method and computer program for interfacing an expert system to a clinical information system. Embodiments of the invention provide tight integration of the systems permitting a clinician to use the functionality provided by the expert system without specifically maintaining separate patient data. They provide a method for communication between the expert system and one or more clinical information systems. This communication permits flow of information and actions between the expert system and the clinical systems and allows maintenance of audit logs in both systems.

Abstract: A decision-support system for providing a clinician with real-time patient data specific to each patient that the clinician is to examine in a defined time period. The system including a decision-support module that is configured to generate decision-supported patient data that is specific to each patient that a clinician is to examine in a defined time period. The decision-support module including an inference engine that communicates with a knowledge module and a patient module to generate the decision-supported patient data. In real-time communication with the decision-support module is a user module that is adapted to present the decision-supported patient data in real-time to the clinician in a configuration that assists the clinician in treating each patient. The user module further allowing the clinician to changes elements of the decision-supported patient data and receive new recommendations and medical care suggestions in real-time from the decision-support module.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for delivering decision-supported patient data to a clinician to aid the clinician with the diagnosis and treatment of a medical condition. The method including presenting a patient with questions generated by a decision-support module and gathering patient data indicative of the responses to the questions. Each question presented to the patient is based upon the prior questions presented to and the patient data gathered from the patient. Upon receiving the patient data from the client module, evaluating the patient data at the module to generate decision-supported patient data, this supported patient data includes medical condition diagnoses, pertinent medical parameters for the medical condition, and medical care recommendations for the medical condition. At the client module or a clinician's client module, presenting the clinician with this patient data in either a standardized format associated with a progress note or a format selected by the clinician.
