Developed by John R. Svirbely, M.D., & M.G.Sriram, Ph.D. The Medical Algorithms Project A Medical Algorithm is any computation, formula, survey, or look-up table, useful in healthcare. The authors have collected over 3000 algorithms spanning major medical domains, organized into 44 chapters. An

additional chapter contains algorithms contributed by visitors. To ensure the widest possible audience, the algorithms have been implemented in an Excel workbook which you can freely download to run on your Windows or Macintosh computer. You will need MS Excel, and should be familiar with running spreadsheets.
