Abstract

A technique is provided for receiving and processing patient-related data in a medical environment. The patient data is collected prior to and during patient contact, such as in a physician's office, clinic or hospital. The data is processed in conjunction with data from an integrated knowledge base to provide recommendations and information to enhance efficiency of the provision of medical care and diagnosis. The recommendations may include additional procedures to be performed prior to or during the patient contact. Patient-specific information, including procedures and educational information, may be crafted based upon the patient's data and the additional data from a variety of resources. Reports and guidance may be provided prior to, during or following the patient contact both for the patient, an institution, and physicians and clinicians.
