System and method for dynamically adjusting patient therapy

A system for managing therapy provided to a patient, comprising:

• a memory comprising a pharmacokinetic (PK) model configured to predict a concentration of a medication within at least a portion of the patient's body tissue;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
• accept a medication identification, a treatment protocol, and patient-specific information;
• retrieve the PK model from the memory;
• and
• generate, using the PK model, the medication identification, the treatment protocol, and the patient-specific information, at least one of a recommended dosing schedule and a recommended monitoring schedule for administration of the medication to the patient.

A method of managing therapy provided to a patient, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a measured medication concentration of a medication within at least a portion of a patient's body tissue and a measured physiological response of the patient;
• retrieving a pharmacodynamic (PD) model and at least one limit for the physiological response from a memory, the PD model being configured to predict a physiological response based on a concentration of a medication in a patient's body tissues;
• calculating a predicted physiological response of the patient automatically utilizing the PD model with the measured medication concentration;
• and
• providing an alert automatically if a difference between the predicted physiological response and the measured physiological response is outside the at least one limit.
