## Abstract

A mechanism is provided for presenting contextually relevant patient data to a medical professional. Electronic medical records (EMRs) of a patient are analyzed to identify a medical condition associated with the patient. A set of treatments are identified from a corpus of medical treatment guidelines for the patient's medical condition. For each treatment in the set of treatments, a subset of treatments are identified that the patient has followed. The set of treatments for the patient's medical condition that the patient has followed are them presented to the medical professional.
