Abstract:Despite initiatives to standardize methods for the development of clinical guidelines, several barriers hinder their integration in daily clinical practice: failure to fulfil quality criteria, poor effectiveness of their dissemination. Computerization of guidelines can favor their dissemination. The initial step of computerization is the knowledge specification from the text of the guideline. We describe the method of knowledge specification, which is used in EsPeR (Personalized Estimate of Risks), a web-based decision support system in preventive medicine, which allows, for a given person, to estimate risks and access recommendations, based on clinical profile. This method is based on a structured and systematic analysis of text allowing detailed specification of a decision tree. We use decision tables to validate the decision algorithm and decision trees to specify this algorithm, along with elementary messages of recommendation. Editing tools are used to facilitate the process of validation and the workflow between expert physicians and computer scientists. Applied to eleven different guidelines, the method allows a quick and valid computerization and integration in the EsPeR system. The method used for computerization could help to define a framework usable at the initial step of guideline development in order to produce guidelines ready for electronic implementation.
