Computer-based evaluation of antibiotic therapy predictions.

Planning antibiotic treatment according to the given data on patients and results of microbiological examinations are important decision-making goals for physicians. One approach using a computer in medical education to improve the teaching process in this respect is described in this paper. On the basis of data about real patients and the optimal antibiotic treatment validated by the antibiotic center of the Faculty Hospital II, we can evaluate the student's abilities to predict correct antibiotic treatment. The general program written for this task and the method of evaluating the student's predictive skills are described.
