A Common-Recipe and Conflict-Solving MAP Approach for Care Planning in Comorbid Patients

摘要

The knowledge for managing diseases is usually compiled in single-disease clinical guidelines (CG). These CGs are not directly reusable for managing comorbid patients, who suffer from more than one disease. This is because some interactions may exist between the different involved CGs. However, some common high-level activities can be found in the different CGs. In this work we present a Multi-Agent Planning (MAP) approach which encodes these common activities in a common recipe used by planning agents to firstly obtain local solutions and then applying a conflict solving procedure over them. An experimental evaluation has been carried out to test the validity of the approach.
