Computer Generated Patient Plans Based on Patterns of Care

摘要

This article presents a method to create patient plans from Patterns of Care (PoC). PoC's are either developed based on Clinical Guidelines or as suggested in this article, based on generalized patient plans. The PoC's are then the basis for generating patient plans. The patient plan generation is a two step process where the first step is based on knowledge intensive case based reasoning and identifies the PoC to be used. The second step adapts the PoC to a patient plan. The way this approach uses PoC's and measured patient information to generate plans is a promising way of provide best practice and to reduce the work required by the medical experts.
