1. A method for providing information related to test results, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor executing software code, test result data;
querying, by the processor, standard-of-care data for the test result data using a matrix associated with medical information logic, wherein the medical information logic is extensible apart from compilation of the software code;
associating, by the processor, in response to the querying, the test result data with the standard-of-care data;
condensing, by the processor, using medical practice guideline data and the medical information logic, a medical treatment content tag for a specific patient condition;
accessing, by the processor, the medical treatment content tag for the specific patient condition and a recommended course of action corresponding to the test result data as determined at least in part by the medical treatment content tag;
building, by the processor, using an embedded language protocol, a patient-specific treatment recommendation using the medical treatment content tag and the recommended course of action; and
providing, by the processor, a report including the patient-specific treatment recommendation.
