[The application of information technologies in system of support of decision making in osteopathy].

Abstract

The implementation of information technologies into treatment practice of modern health care significantly increases efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of dorsopathies. The purpose of the study is to develop software module to evaluate post-urological status of patients with spine dorsopathy to optimize diagnostic process and treatment planning. The article describes application of original software module to assess the post-urological status of patients with spine dorsopathy. The proposed software module is designed for objective assessment of post-urological status of patients with spine dorsopathy based on photographic images of examined patient. The most important advantage of software module is built-in forecasting function that is implemented by calculation of severity of pain perceptions and movement disorders using generated regression equations. The possibility to record data obtained during measurements permits to store information in single system. The implementation of software module into clinical practice will contribute to qualitative improvement of diagnostic processes, simplify work of osteopath and reduce the time spent on examination.
