Systems and methods for clinical decision-making

Abstract

Computer implemented methods are disclosed. The methods may include receiving historical data comprising at least one of provider data and patient data, and processing, using a processor, the historical data to identify one or more patterns. The method also may include generating one or more decision models from the historical data and the decision patterns, and providing one or more recommendations based on the one or more decision models.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method for automatically providing a treatment recommendation, the method comprising:
 receiving historical data comprising at least one of provider data and patient data;   processing, using a processor, the historical data to identify one or more patterns;   generating one or more decision models from the historical data and the decision patterns; and   providing one or more recommendations based on the one or more decision models.   
     
     
         2 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving electronic feedback on at least one of the one or more recommendations. 
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented method of  2 , further comprising storing the electronic feedback as historical data. 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented method of  2 , further comprising exchanging the electronic feedback with a third party. 
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving real-time data comprising at least one of provider data and patient data. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 5 , wherein the historical data comprises treatment instructions and the real-time data comprises compliance with the treatment instructions. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 5 , wherein the real-time data is received from a patient's electronic device. 
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising extracting metadata from the historical data. 
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 8 , further comprising biasing the historical data based on the metadata. 
     
     
         10 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the processor uses one or more machine learning algorithms. 
     
     
         11 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the generating one or more decision models comprises importing models from a library of models. 
     
     
         12 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising accessing one or more medical records and parsing the historical data from the one or more medical records. 
     
     
         13 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising presenting the one or more identified patterns to a provider. 
     
     
         14 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving instructions to modify the one or more decision models. 
     
     
         15 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising providing a comparison between the one or more recommendations, a recommendation based on standard guidelines, and a recommendation based on external data. 
     
     
         16 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein one of the patient data and provider data comprises demographic information. 
     
     
         17 . An information processing device for providing a treatment recommendation, the device comprising:
 a processor for processing a set of instructions; and   a computer-readable storage medium for storing the set of instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, perform a method comprising:   receiving historical data comprising at least one of provider data and patient data;   processing, using a processor, the historical data to identify one or more patterns;   generating one or more decision models from the historical data and the decision patterns; and   providing one or more recommendations based on the one or more decision models.   
     
     
         18 . The information processing device of  claim 17 , the method further comprising receiving electronic feedback on at least one of the one or more recommendations. 
     
     
         19 . The information processing device of  claim 17 , the method further comprising further comprising receiving real-time data comprising at least one of provider data and patient data. 
     
     
         20 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of providing a treatment recommendation, the method comprising:
 receiving historical data comprising at least one of provider data and patient data;   processing, using a processor, the historical data to identify one or more patterns;   generating one or more decision models from the historical data and the decision patterns; and   providing one or more recommendations based on the one or more decision models.
