Patient treatment recommendations based on medical records and exogenous information

Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for implementing a patient health management system. The mechanisms analyze a patient electronic medical record (EMR) for an identified patient to identify a medical condition associated with the patient and identify, based on the results of the analysis, one or more exogenous data parameters associated with the medical condition. The exogenous data parameters are parameters specifying conditions outside the patient's body that affect the health of the patient with regard to the medical condition. The mechanisms retrieve exogenous data, corresponding to the exogenous data parameters, from one or more exogenous data sources and generate a health management plan for the patient based on the exogenous data. The health management plan comprises actions to be performed or not performed by the patient to thereby minimize effects of exogenous conditions, corresponding to the exogenous data parameters, on the health of the patient with regard to the medical condition.
