Abstract
A method for providing decision support includes using a programmed computer to input a regression model specification, and to repeat the input a plurality of times to obtain and store a plurality of regression model specifications. The method further includes using the programmed computer to analyze selected regression model specifications to determine at least one of common variables and functions of common variables, to thereby determine a reduced-redundancy request for input of variables, when a plurality of the stored regression model specifications are selected for use.
Claims33
A method for providing medical decision support with respect to medical treatments, the method comprising:
- providing a first interface identifying a plurality of health outcome prediction models using patient-specific variables;
- electronically receiving at a computer system a selection made via the first interface of one or more health outcome prediction models from the plurality of health outcome prediction models;
- and
- using a computer system configured to dynamically generate interfaces, dynamically generating a second interface based at least in part on the selected one or more health outcome prediction models,
- wherein the dynamically generated second interface is configured to obtain patient information corresponding to the patient variables of the selected one or more health outcome prediction models.
A computer system configured to facilitate the use of health outcome prediction models, the computer system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions stored therein that when executed by the at least one processor are configured to:
- provide a first interface, the first interface identifying a plurality of health outcome prediction models using patient-specific variables;
- receive a selection made via the first interface of one or more health outcome prediction models from the plurality of health outcome prediction models;
- and
- dynamically generate a second interface based at least in part on the selected one or more health outcome prediction models,
- the dynamically generated second interface configured to obtain patient information corresponding to the patient variables of the selected one or more health outcome prediction models.
The computer system as defined in claim 21, wherein the instructions, when executed, are further configured to:
- use the results of the of the user-selected regression model specifications to create an informed consent document and/or patient educational material including a discussion of procedural risks and benefits.
An article of manufacture including a computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- providing a first interface identifying a plurality of health outcome prediction models using patient-specific variables;
- receiving a selection made via the first interface of one or more health outcome prediction models from the plurality of health outcome prediction models;
- dynamically generating a second interface based at least in part on the selected one or more health outcome prediction models,
- wherein the dynamically generated second interface is configured to obtain patient information corresponding to the patient variables of the selected one or more health outcome prediction models.
