Executable medical guidelines with Arden Syntax—Applications in dermatology and obstetrics
作者：
Highlights：
• We discuss Arden Syntax as a modern medical knowledge representation and processing language.
• This language is not only well suited to define clinical alerts, reminders, and recommendations, but can also be used to implement and process computerized medical practice guidelines.
• Two guideline-based applications using Arden Syntax for medical knowledge representation and processing were developed.
• The first is a software platform for implementing practice guidelines from dermatology.
• The second application implements a reminder system based on clinically published standard operating procedures in obstetrics.
