The present invention involves a system and method of providing decision support for assisting medical treatment decision-making. A patient agent software module processes information about a particular patient. A doctor agent software module processes information about a health status of a particular patient, beliefs relating to patient treatments, and the actual effects of treatment decisions. By filtering information over time from the patient agent into the doctor agent, a plurality of decision-outcome nodes are created and formed into a patient-specific outcome tree with the plurality of decision-outcome nodes. An optimal treatment is determined by evaluating the plurality of decision-outcome nodes with a cost per unit change function to output the optimal treatment. When additional information is available from at least one of the patient agent and the doctor agent, the filtering, creating, and determining steps are repeated thus allowing for the system to “reason over time”, continuously updating and learning as new information is received.

A system processes medical information of multiple patients to provide data for use in supporting clinical decision making. The system includes an interface for receiving, from a remote source, data representing patient non-specific medical information excluding patient specific information. The patient non-specific medical information comprises medical information of multiple individual patients treated at one or more healthcare organization sites. A data processor automatically, parses the received data, identifies, within the parsed received data, site specific information associated with a particular healthcare provider organization site and facilitates identification of the particular healthcare provider organization site. The data processor removes the identified site specific information from the data representing patient non-specific medical information to provide both patient and site non-specific, patient medical information representative data and stores both the patient and site non-specific, patient medical information representative data in a repository.
