Semi-automatic Transformation of Structured Guideline Components into Formal Process Representations
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. Modeling clinical guidelines and protocols in a computer-interpretable format is a burdensome and time-consuming task. Existing methods and tools to support this task demand for strong user interaction, detailed medical knowledge, and knowledge about the formal representation. I propose a methodology using Information Extraction and Information Transformation by means of multiple steps to ease the modeling and make the process structured and traceable.

Guideline and protocol representation languages have reached a level of complexity where auxiliary methods are needed to support the authoring of protocols in the particular language. Several approaches and methods exist that claim high knowledge about both, the medical context and the formal requirements. Therefore, we need knowledge-based methods to facilitate the human plan designer and crea...

OBJECTIVE Formalizing clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for a subsequent computer-supported processing is a challenging, but burdensome and time-consuming task. Existing methods and tools to support this task demand detailed medical knowledge, knowledge about the formal representations, and a manual modeling. Furthermore, formalized guideline documents mostly fall far short in terms of readab...

Business process modelling initiatives frequently make use of semi-formal modelling languages for depicting the business processes and their control flows. While these representations are beneficial for the analysis, simulation and automatic execution of processes, they are not necessarily the best option to communicate process knowledge required by employees to execute the process. Hence, text...
