ABSTRACT:
A medical diagnostic enhancement method and system for determining diagnostic tasks to fine-tune a patient diagnosis based upon a possible diagnosis and acquired data for the patient. With this method, a presenting problem is received. Responsive to the presenting problem, particular patient data is then collected. Next, based on predetermined criteria, a plurality of possible diagnoses are presented for selection by a user. The user is then provided with a recommended diagnostic task based on the selected possible diagnosis. The system is a repository of the results of the diagnostic task or it can continue to process the patient data for other suspected diagnoses.
