FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: to manage clinical protocols and/or computer interpretable guidelines, a data acquisition processor accepts workflow data and patient data for a plurality of patients. Workflow data includes a series of care steps performed for each of the patients. Patient data includes clinical data collected from each patient. Further, the data analysis processor monitors the patient data at the time of execution of each of the plurality of care steps relative to each of the patients. Further, the data analysis processor selects one of the preceding care steps for one of the patients. Further, at least a portion of the series of care steps and patient data at the time of the selected care step for the selected patient are displayed on a data display device.
EFFECT: group of inventions makes it possible to determine a more effective guideline by performing a comparative analysis of alternative hypothetical paths with the calculation of probabilities using the expectation-maximisation algorithm.
