Disease Decision Algorithms
A lack of readily available data from healthcare institutions makes diagnostic and treatment patterns within community hospitals and academic medical institutions among the most difficult pieces of information to obtain about a given disease. With Disease Decision Algorithms from Clear Point Health, companies can gain valuable information about the diagnostic and treatment decisions that effect the use of their products.
A Disease Decision Algorithm is a intervention flow map that captures all the critical diagnostic and treatment decisions that healthcare professionals make when managing a patient’s disease or disorder. The algorithm starts by tracking major events once the patient enters the healthcare system, and ends when the patient returns to normal health, or some other outcome is achieved as a result of medical interventions. Disease Decisions Algorithms can be used to develop strategies for influencing diagnostic and treatment decisions. Algorithms also are valuable in developing strategies to enhance the outcomes of medical interventions.
