CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT ON CLINICAL ANALYZER

摘要

A system (10) and method for providing clinical decision support to a user (15) is presented. The system (10) comprises a Point-of-Care (POC) testing device (50) comprising an integrated clinical decision support module (40). The POC testing device (50) and the clinical decision support module (40) are connected via a testing module-clinical decision support module interface (30). The system (10) also comprises a testing module (20) between the user (15) and the POC testing device (50). The testing module (20) is configured to request tests from the user (15) to the POC testing device (50) and to send completed test results from the POC testing device (50) to the user (15) and to the clinical decision support module (40) via the internal interface (30). The system (10) also comprises a plurality of diverse outside data sources (70) configured to provide external data via a communication connection (60) to the clinical decision support module (40) of the POC testing device (50). The clinical decision support module (40) is configured to use the external data and the completed test results to determine and provide clinical decision support information specifically tailored to the user (15).
