A system for determining a treatment plan for a patient comprises a
database of patient data elements indicative of a medical condition
associated with a patient. A predictive model is applied to patient
assessment data and used to prepare a treatment plan. A rules engine
applies a patient rule consistent with the treatment plan to selected
data elements stored in the database to produce an output indicative of a
change in the medical condition of the patient. The output from the rules
engine is used to determine if intervention is warranted. The predictive
model is applied continuously to determine whether to update the
treatment plan and, if necessary, the patient rule.
