Abstract

Ease of editability and reuse of executable knowledge components are among the key features in the Proteus model for clinical guidelines, where these are composed of modular knowledge components representing clinical activities. To validate the Proteus approach, we have developed software tools such as Protean, which demonstrates how a guideline created in the Proteus format can be authored and executed. It also demonstrates how pre-created knowledge can be reused. While executing, the data entered and decisions taken are stored in the electronic medical record of the patient.
