The invention relates to a molecular diagnostic decision support system (MD-DSS) for providing patient related information (PRI). A patient information database (EMJ), a data input section (DAT) with molecular diagnostic input data (MDx) about the patient, a clinical guideline database (CL), a knowledge database (KB) are part of the system. A middleware section allows input data (MDx) to be processed into patient related information (PRI) by a first (1DSM) and a second (2DSM) decision support mechanism using the patient information database (EMJ), the clinical guideline database (CL) and the knowledge database (KB). The first (1DSM) and the second (2DSM) decision support mechanism are operably coupled through the middleware (MW) so as to interact (10, 11) during the processing of the input data (MDx). Due to this coupling of the two decision support mechanisms patient data are more efficiently combined with input data (MDx), and a more comprehensive approach with respect to the patient is obtained. |
