An Ontological Approach for Guideline-based Decision Support System
نویسنده
چکیده
Diabetes mellitus (DM) can increase premature death and decrease the quality of life due to vascular complications. Optimal assessment and management during surgery for diabetic patients is very important. Clinical guidelines are used to standardize clinical practice and improve the outcomes, but they are underutilized at the point of care. There have been considerable efforts to operate computerized clinical guidelines within Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). An ontological approach was used to computerize the key concepts and relationships in the clinical guidelines so as to allow clinical knowledge sharing, update and reuse. The paper proposed the methodology for designing and developing an ontology-driven CDSS for perioperative management of the diabetic patient. Clinical guideline decision rules were represented as JENA rules for the JENA reasoning system. Fuzzy logic wasalso employed due to the non-explicit nature of clinical decision making.
