A system and method, for use with a computer system, generate a report to help decide among a plurality of treatment options for a patient with a given medical condition. To that end, the system and method receive patient information related to the patient and the medical condition, and query a treatment option database to generate a plurality of potential treatment options for the medical condition. In a corresponding manner, the system and method also receive preference information indicative of the patient's preference(s) for potential treatment outcomes of the treatment options. The patient's preference(s) are used to produce a preference value. The system and method also analyze indexed study data relating to the plurality of treatment options to produce (e.g., at least in part in a computer process), based on the analysis of the indexed data, a study score for each of the treatment options. Accordingly, for each treatment option, the method and apparatus produce a treatment score as a function of at least the preference value and the study score, thus permitting generation of a report listing the treatment options and a) the treatment scores or b) the information derived from the treatment scores. |
