Method and apparatus for automated generation of a patient treatment plan

Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating a patient treatment plan includes processing that begins by providing a list of health care services to a patient and/or care provider. The processing continues by prompting for input of digital information regarding the patient when health care services applicable to addressing the patient's treatment needs have been concurrently selected. The processing continues by determining whether a sufficient amount of digital information has been received. If so, the processing continues by simulating treatment of a patient based on the digital information, a treatment objective, and normalized patient data. The processing then continues by generating the patient treatment plan in accordance with the simulating of the treatment when the simulated treatment results have been acknowledged.

1 . A method for generating a patient treatment plan, the method comprises the steps of: 
 a) providing a list of health care services;    b) interactively and concurrently selecting a plurality of health care services from the list for proposed treatment of a patient;    c) inputting digital information regarding the patient;    d) determining a treatment objective for the patient based on the received digital information;    e) simulating treatment of the patient using the plurality of health care services based on the received digital information, the treatment objective, and normalized patient data to produce a simulated treatment result; and    f) generating the patient treatment plan in accordance with the simulating of the treatment when the simulated treatment results have been acknowledged.
