This invention is a system (10) that can collect data directly from a client (12), use a data to diagnose, and establish the severity of a client's condition. The system can also use this data to look-up one or more appropriate treatments according to treatment guidelines (16) stored in its memory. It then uses this information to monitor if the treatment decisions made by the treating clinician or other medical provider is consistent with the stored treatment guidelines. The system can suggest treatments to the medical provider, inform the provider if the provider chooses a treatment or treatments that do not follow the treatment guidelines, require the provider to actively override the treatment guidelines or require the provider to obtain agreement to override from a supervisor (14). Additionally, the system can store information on treatments that do not follow the treatment guidelines for ongoing review of provider performance by provider supervisors.
