Abstract
An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager selects patient data measurements corresponding to a patient that is on a current treatment plan. The patient data measurements correspond to different test results of the patient. The knowledge manager analyzes the patient data measurements against guideline threshold compilations that include multiple guideline thresholds. In turn, the knowledge manager determines a patient response of the patient and chronologically maps the patient response to the treatment plan.
Claims20
A method implemented by a knowledge manager system that includes a memory and a processor, the method comprising:
- ingesting, by the processor, a plurality of patient data measurements into the knowledge manager system, wherein the plurality of patient data measurements correspond to a patient on a treatment plan;
- comparing the plurality of patient data measurements against a plurality of guideline threshold compilations generated by the knowledge manager system, wherein each of the guideline threshold compilations comprise a plurality of guideline thresholds;
- identifying a patient response from a plurality of patient responses based upon the comparing, wherein the patient response corresponds to a selected one of the plurality of guideline threshold compilations;
- and
- chronologically mapping the identified patient response to the treatment plan.
An information handling system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
- and
- a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
- ingesting a plurality of patient data measurements into the information handling system, wherein the plurality of patient data measurements correspond to a patient on a treatment plan;
- comparing the plurality of patient data measurements against a plurality of guideline threshold compilations generated by the information handling system, wherein each of the guideline threshold compilations comprise a plurality of guideline thresholds;
- identifying a patient response from a plurality of patient responses based upon the comparing, wherein the patient response corresponds to a selected one of the plurality of guideline threshold compilations;
- and
- chronologically mapping the identified patient response to the treatment plan.
A computer program product stored in a computer readable storage medium, comprising computer program code that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions comprising:
- ingesting a plurality of patient data measurements into the information handling system, wherein the plurality of patient data measurements correspond to a patient on a treatment plan;
- comparing the plurality of patient data measurements against a plurality of guideline threshold compilations generated by the information handling system, wherein each of the guideline threshold compilations comprise a plurality of guideline thresholds;
- identifying a patient response from a plurality of patient responses based upon the comparing, wherein the patient response corresponds to a selected one of the plurality of guideline threshold compilations;
- and
- chronologically mapping the identified patient response to the treatment plan.
