On the Logic of Medical Decision Support

摘要

Guideline development, implementation, utility and adherence require intelligence and multimedia to interact in decision support environments. However, efforts to combine all these aspects and to connect solutions into a effective, efficient and productive environment are rare. In this paper we use a regional health care perspective on maintenance and analysis of data, information and knowledge. Examples are drawn from cardiac diseases. Analysis and development is viewed from by-pass surgery point of view. Association rules are used for analysis, and we show how these rules take logical forms so as to prepare for development of guidelines.
