Systems and methods for supporting medical therapy decisions are disclosed that utilize predictive models and electronic medical records (EMR) data to provide predictions of health conditions over varying time horizons. Embodiments also determine a 0-100 health risk index value that represents the "risk" for a patient to acquire a health condition based on a combination of real-time and predicted EMR data. The systems and methods receive EMR data and use the predictive models to predict one or more data values from the EMR data as diagnostic criteria. In some embodiments, the health condition trying to be avoided is Sepsis and the health risk index is a Sepsis Risk Index (SRI). In some embodiments, the predictive models are neural network models such as time delay neural networks.
