Description
While wonderful new medical discoveries and innovations are in the news every day, healthcare providers continue to struggle with using information. Uncertainties and unanswered clinical questions are a daily reality for the decision makers who provide care. Perhaps the biggest limitation in making the best possible decisions for patients is that the information available is usually not focused on the specific
individual or situation at hand. For example, there are general clinical guidelines that outline the ideal target
blood pressure for a patient with a severe infection. However, the truly best blood pressure levels likely differ from patient to patient, and perhaps even change for an individual patient over the course of treatment. The ongoing computerization of health records presents an opportunity to overcome this limitation.
