Existing computer-based ordering systems for physicians provide effective drug-centered checks but offer little assistance for optimizing the overall patient-centered treatment strategy. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines have been developed to disseminate state-of-the-art information concerning treatment strategy but these guidelines are poorly used in routine practice. The ASTI project aims to design a guideline-based ordering system to enable general practitioners to avoid prescription errors and to improve compliance with best therapeutic practices. The "critic mode" operates as a background process and corrects the physician's prescription on the basis of automatically triggered elementary rules that account for isolated guideline recommendations. The "guided mode" directs the physician to the best treatment by browsing a comprehensive guideline knowledge base represented as a decision tree. A first prototype, applied to hypertension, is currently under development. |
