System and method for determining testing and treatment

A system for determining a testing and treatment protocol for a predetermined medical condition, the system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a set of computer executable instructions;
• a medical evidence database written on and stored to the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the evidence database is configured to store a compilation of targeted medical research information and wherein the targeted medical research information is organized into a plurality of patient cohorts, wherein each of the plurality of patient cohorts comprises a predetermined set of patient characteristics;
• and
• at least one a processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions embodied in the non-transitory computer readable medium, such that the non-transitory computer readable medium is configured to instruct the processor to:
• compare a patient profile to a predetermined set of patient characteristics defined by each of the plurality of patient cohorts;
• match the patient profile to at least one of a plurality of patient cohorts;
• identify markers for medical evaluation and testing based on the matched patient cohort;
• and
• match the identified markers for medical evaluation and testing to a plurality of test order sets.

A method of determining a testing and treatment protocol for a predetermined medical condition comprising the steps of:

• populating a medical evidence database with a data set of targeted medical research information, wherein populating the medical evidence database further comprises evaluating and organizing the data set of targeted medical research information into a plurality of patient cohorts according to a predetermined set of evaluation and organization criteria, wherein each of the plurality of patient cohorts comprises a predetermined set of patient characteristics;
• transmitting an information request to a patient, wherein the information request comprises a series of questions related to the predetermined medical condition;
• receiving answers to the information request from the patient and processing and storing the received answers on a computer readable medium as a patient profile, and wherein the computer readable medium is a memory;
• comparing the patient profile to the predetermined set of patient characteristics defined by each of the plurality of patient cohorts;
• categorizing the patient in at least one of a plurality of patient cohorts based on the patient profile;
• identifying markers for medical evaluation and testing based on the patient cohort;
• matching the identified markers for medical evaluation and testing to a plurality of test order sets;
• selecting a test order set;
• transmitting, via a computer network, the test order set selection and an authorization request to a medical provider;
• receiving, via the computer network, a medical provider authorization in response to the authorization request;
• and
• transmitting, via the computer network, the test order set selection and medical provider authorization to the selected testing laboratory.
