<p>This invention is a method for evaluating a medical condition of a patient including the steps of monitoring one or more clinical features of a patient (18) based on the monitored features, computing a primary probability of a medical outcome or diagnosis via a waveform analyzer (12), and processor module (14); computing a plurality of conditional probabilities for a selected diagnostic test, the computed conditional probabilities including a first probability of the medical outcome or diagnosis assuming the selected diagnostic test produces a first outcome and a second probability of the medical outcome or diagnosis assuming the selected diagnostic test produces a second outcome; and displaying the computed primary probability on a display (28) as well as the plurality of computed conditional probabilities to a user as an aid to determining whether to administer the selected diagnostic test to the patient.</p> |
