Abstract
A computer method for enhancing medical evaluation. The method includes the steps of providing a problem database comprising a compendium of patient medical history; providing a remedy database comprising a compendium of at least one of medical therapies, pharmaceuticals, medical information and medical diagnostics; and employing a data mining technique for interrogating the problem and remedy databases for generating an output data stream, the output data stream correlating patient problem with patient remedy.
Claims4
A computer method comprising:
- providing a problem database comprising a compendium of patient medical history;
- providing a remedy database comprising a compendium of at least one of medical therapies, pharmaceuticals, medical information and medical diagnostics;
- employing a data mining technique for interrogating said problem and remedy databases for generating an output data stream, said output data stream correlating a patient problem with a patient remedy;
- updating the problem database;
- and
- refining an employed data mining technique in cognizance of pattern changes embedded in each database as a consequence of updating the problem database.
