Sinossi

Alerts, reminders, knowledge-based systems, and information-retrieval systems are some of the computer technologies that have been designed to help medical practitioners adhere to guidelines and protocols in their specialty or medicine in general. The 23 papers include some of about 15 pages that present mature research results and review focused topics; others of about five pages that report early results and innovative ideas, and describe practical applications. The topics include communicating the logic of a treatment plan formulated in Asbru to domain experts, advanced temporal data abstraction for guideline execution, a multiple-ontology customizable search interface for retrieving clinical guidelines, and tracing the formalization steps of textual guidelines. Only authors are indexed. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Dalla quarta di copertina

In recent years, guidelines and protocols have gained support as the vehicles for promoting best practices in clinical medicine. They offer the possibilities of reducing unwarranted practice variations, of containing cost while maintaining quality of care, and of defining standards of care for quality assurance purposes. These promises have led to an explosion of guideline publications. Yet studies have shown that dissemination and effective use of guidelines in clinical care remains a major bottleneck. A number of researchers have developed different technologies for delivering computerized guidelines in clinical care. These technologies range from alerts and reminders to knowledge-based systems, information-retrieval systems, and others. The tasks to which guidelines have been applied include classic clinical decision support, workflow management, quality assurance, and resource-requirement estimates. The research has spanned several communities (information retrieval, artificial intelligence, medical informatics, software engineering, clinical medicine), but unfortunately, there has been little cross-fertilization between the communities working in this area. This publication brings together researchers from different communities to examine cutting-edge approaches to guideline modeling and application development and to consider how different communities can leverage each other's strengths.
