Selecting potential participant for medical study using selection criterion involves deriving measure of fulfillment of selection criterion from secondary criterion, selecting patient as potential participant depending on measure

摘要

The method involves electronically storing patient (8a-8f) data (6a-6f), assigning a secondary criterion (32) to the selection criterion (2), electronically evaluating the patient data using the secondary criterion, deriving a measure of fulfillment (16) of the selection criterion from it and selecting the patient as a potential participant depending on the measure.
