A design for a World Wide Web decision-support system using a controlled medical terminology.

摘要

We have developed a medical decision-support system based on Arden Syntax for Medical Logic Modules and hypertext using the World Wide Web. The two representations are integrated to provide a better platform for decision support. To manage the integration a controlled medical terminology has been used as a well-defined interface between the representations. The terminology is also used to facilitate communication between specialists and non-specialists.
