DYNAMIC PROVISIONING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PATIENT SPECIFIC DOSE AND DOSE INTERVAL INFORMATION

摘要

The use of algorithms developed from the clinical literature and patient care guidelines, as well as from new biomedical knowledge is facilitated by the use of remote computers, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), which are synchronized with a central computing site. All of these algorithms are stored in a central database which can be accessed by the remote computers, and the remote computers can selectively load one or more of the algorithms for use on a computer when, for example, prescribing a dose or dose interval for a specific patient. The dynamic nature of the invention allows empiric, de-identified clinical data from patients being treated and/or receiving therapy during research to be used in a feedback loop to improve the algorithms.
