✦ Synopsis

The development of medical knowledge bases for use in a clinical information system (HELP) has been an ongoing goal at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the past 25 years. In building our medical knowledge base we felt the need to implement a decision support syntax which could capture the logice of our experts in a way that was not only executable, but also easily read and shared by others. During these 25 years we defined several simple syntaxes to express this medical logic. Our current approach is to cooperate with international standards groups (ASTM) and use the Arden Syntax for medical logic modules. We are working with the 3M Corporation in the joint development of an Arden Compiler for HELP. We plan to use the Arden Syntax initially to support our alert/reminder system and computerized management protocols.
