Point-of-care clinical decision support platform

Abstract

A medical decision system comprises a platform having a graphical user interface, an electronic record interface, a guideline interface, and a parameter cost interface. Moreover, a controller of the platform performance tunes a clinical pathway for a patient receiving medical care. Essentially, the controller selects an electronic patient identifier corresponding to the patient receiving medical care, extracts, via the electronic record interface, electronic medical record information associated with the selected electronic patient identifier, extracts, via the guideline interface, guidelines associated with medical care of the patient associated with the electronic patient identifier, and extracts, via the parameter cost interface, cost information associated with the extracted electronic medical record information and the extracted guidelines. In this manner, the controller generates a clinical pathway that recommends a future clinical service reconciled with actual costs of care extracted from the cost information, where the generated clinical pathway is based upon a tuning parameter.
