title: Display for medical procedure selection.
abstract: This paper presents a novel approach for displaying medical procedure options to care providers when selecting the next appropriate diagnostic test or therapeutic procedure to order for a patient. This approach works in the same way that care providers perform medical reasoning by presenting options based on the information the care provider hopes to gain from the test or the desired result of the treatment. The method for implementing this approach is described briefly.
