The Protocol Hypothesis Testing (pht) approach is an innovative cooperative information system that includes knowledge management, decision support, research methodology and communication networks. It uses a generic framework within and between healthcare organisations merging the conduct of clinical trial methodology with the management of individual patients over the continuum of care to incrementally advance our knowledge in real time about which treatments work, and to what degree. In turn, this evidence is used by the pht system to help clinicians, consumers and healthcare organisations make the best decisions about patient care.
Implementation of the PHT system is supported by the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts.
