A method and system (30, 50) for predicting the immediate success of a defibrillatory shock during cardiac arrest are shown. The sequencing of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is determined by an electronic computer (80) based on the probability of success as determined by a comparison of the amplitude spectrum area or the power spectrum area of an electrocardiogram sample and to empirical data. When the probability of successful resuscitation is 80% or greater, immediate defibrillation is implemented. When the probability of success is 20% or less, advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation is implemented. When the probability of success remains greater than 20% but less than 80% for a period of four minutes, the patient is also defibrillated.

The present invention is a Change Management Procedure that enables businesses and other enterprises to effectively manage, record, and communicate changes by employing a centralized control agency to review, approve, document, and communicate changes taking place within an enterprise. While the Change Management Procedure is applicable to any type of change, in the preferred embodiment the procedure manages changes in electronic computer systems including but not limited to architecture changes, outages (e.g., hardware, software or facility), replacement of hardware, upgrading of software, and rebooting of devices. By requiring that all changes be formally requested and approved, the Change Management Procedure prevents unauthorized changes. The Change Management Procedure also creates an audit trail that keeps a record of all changes for future reference. Another advantage of the Change Management Procedure is the communication of changes to operating units within the enterprise that are potentially interested in the change. At any step within the Change Management Procedure, entities that might be affected by a change may be notified of the change. Thus, potentially interested operating units can be aware of changes before they occur and can be informed of all changes that have occurred.

A computer system for supporting a plan of counterclaim insurance provided to professionals, optionally along with professional liability insurance, deters frivolous professional malpractice claims. The insurance plan pays expenses, for example, of counterclaims for malicious prosecution when a frivolous claim has been made and tried to a judgment for the accused professional, and an independent review concludes that the claim was frivolous. The names of covered professionals are posted on a publicly accessible database. If potential plaintiffs or their attorneys find a potential defendant's name on the database, they may be deterred from filing weaker claims that might be viewed as frivolous. Upon approval of an applicant for counterclaim insurance, the applicant's name is posted to a public database, which may be accessible through the Internet, including the World Wide Web, or alternatively through a dial-up facility.
