Abstract
We developed a clinical event monitor that is currently deployed in an inpatient setting. We selected CLIPS as the basis for its KB and inference engine. This paper describes the considerations that went into that decision, how we represented drug and laboratory knowledge in CLIPSs, and how we extended CLIPS to deal with temporal inferences. We also review the published literature about the use of CLIPS in medicine.
