Abstract

Computer-based support for clinical protocols or guidelines is currently a subject of a lot of interest within the Healthcare Informatics community. The Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rule paradigm, as supported inactive databases and originating from production rules in expert systems,promises to be of great potential in supporting clinical protocols or guidelines.The problem being addressed in the authors’ work is that of managing complex information encountered in the management (i.e., the specification, execution and manipulation as well as querying) of clinical protocols whose specification and execution models are based on the ECA rule paradigm. This paper presents a generic framework and a mechanism for the management of ECA rule-based protocols using modern database technology.
