✦ Synopsis

We are developing a clinical workstation which integrates access to health maintenance guidelines with access to a computer-based medical record.

In order to enhance the portability of such a system, we emphasize the use of open standards which can be used in diverse clinical environments.

We discuss the use of relational database and expert system technology to provide both patient-specific and patient-independent access to clinical guidelines.

We use the Arden Syntax as the format for a textual library which facilitates the storage of structured medical knowledge.

## Abstract A fast, sensitive and specific method is presented for the quantification of RSD921 in human plasma by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry using tri‐deuterated RSD921 (3d‐RSD921) as an internal standard. A single‐step liquid/liquid extraction was performed with d
