System and Method for Facilitating Treatment of a Patient

A method of generating a display to improve decision making for treatment options of a patient with a medical condition, the method executed on a system including one or more operatively coupled processors, a memory component, and a user interface including a display screen, the method comprising:

• receiving, at the one or more processors, patient data associated with a treatment-plan for the patient;
• receiving, at the one or more processors, aggregate historical patient data associated with an experience of the treatment-plan for at least one other patient;
• providing a correlation data structure including the patient data and the aggregate historical patient data, wherein the correlation data structure describes a correlation between the patient data and the aggregate historical patient data based on a selected evaluation metric;
• rendering, by the one or more processors, an image of the correlation between the patient data and the aggregate historical patient data based on the selected evaluation metric;
• and
• displaying, by the one or more processors, the rendered image of the correlation between the patient data and the aggregate historical patient data on the display screen for visually evaluating treatment of the patient.

A system for generating a display to improve decision making of treatment options for a patient with a medical condition, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a display device coupled to the one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors;
• a patient data structure stored on the memory and describing a conventional dose volume histogram associated with the treatment-plan for the patient;
• a historical patient data structure stored on the memory and describing a statistical patient dose volume histogram associated with the experience of the treatment-plan for the at least one other patient;
• a correlation data structure stored on the memory and describing a correlation between the patient data and the aggregate historical patient data based on a selected evaluation metric;
• and
• instructions store on the memory and when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• receive patient data associated with a treatment-plan for the patient;
• render an image of the conventional dose volume histogram;
• receive aggregate historical patient data associated with an experience of the treatment-plan for at least one other patient;
• render an image of the statistical patient dose volume histogram;
• display the rendered images of the conventional dose volume histogram and the statistical dose volume histogram on the display screen for visually evaluating treatment of the patient.
