Abstract
A threshold value or range of values for results of a test used to assign patients to a particular level of treatment for a clinical condition is determined based on historical information on a plurality of patients having the clinical condition. The historical information may include values for the test performed on the patients, information on the treatment level for the clinical condition provided to the patients, information on the outcome of the clinical condition for the patients, and information on the cost associated with providing each of the treatment levels to the patients. The threshold value or range of values for results of the test is determined from the historical information, with the threshold value or range of values indicating the most cost effective treatment level for a given test result.
