<p>Apparatus and a method are provided for improving the medical care of patients. The apparatus includes an input device (12), a medical risk database (14), a data processor (16), and a communication device (18). Data entered in the input device (12), usually by a health care professional, defines a patient data record (22). The medical risk database (14) associates certain patient data entered into the data record (22), which increases the risk of a missed medical care opportunity, with additional medical care to address the risk. The communication device (18) responds to the identification of patient data presenting a medical risk by communicating to a health care professional additional medical care selected to identify and take advantage of a medical care opportunity.</p> |
