A hybrid knowledge-based approach to supporting the medical prescription for general practitioners: Real case in a Hong Kong medical center

Abstract: ObjectiveWith the increased complexity and uncertainty in drug information, issuing medical prescriptions has become a vexing issue. As many as 240,000 medicines are available on the market, so this paper proposes a novel approach to the issuing of medical prescriptions. The proposed process will provide general practitioners (GPs) with medication advice and suggest a range of medicines for specific medical conditions by taking into consideration the collective pattern as well as the individual preferences of … Show more

“…In more detail, research in knowledge-based DSSs has recently dealt with the problem of overcoming the limitations imposed by a single knowledge representation language [34]. By focusing on clinical DSSs, the way the knowledge is represented is one of the most key facets for: (i) modeling medical knowledge in a structured, coherent and flexible manner; (ii) making useful inferences based on condition-action clinical guidelines; (iii) providing specific explanations with some level of transparency regarding the mechanisms for reaching such inferences; (iv) offering some mechanisms to conveniently update and maintain the DSS with respect to medical progress or adaptation in the treatment of individual diseases.…”
