Automated Interdisciplinary Plan of Care Generation System

A processing device implemented system supporting providing a plan of care for a patient, comprising:

• a template builder processor enabling a user to generate data representing a template plan of care for storage in a repository;
• a repository, electrically coupled to said template builder processor, including data representing a plurality of different template plans of care associated with a plurality of different patient problems and an individual template plan of care indicates care to be provided to a patient and is associated with a patient problem, a plurality of expected outcomes, clinical observations and orders for treatment to be administered to a patient;
• a data processor, electrically coupled to said repository, for searching data in said repository to identify one or more candidate template plans of care associated with a particular patient problem in response to user entry of data identifying said particular patient problem by searching data in said repository for a code associated with said particular patient problem;
• and
• a display processor, electrically coupled to said data processor, for generating data representing at least one display image including data representing said one or more candidate template plans of care associated with said particular patient problem enabling a user to select a particular plan of care for a particular patient.

• an edit processor enabling a user to edit a candidate template plan of care accessed from said repository to create a new template plan of care for storage in said repository;
• and
• a display processor for generating data representing at least one display image including data representing said new template plan of care associated with said particular patient problem selectable by a user for a particular patient.
