广泛认识到需要灵活和良好理解的知识表示，能够捕获临床指南和方案的决策支持系统。用于指定临床指南和方案的PROforma方法包括用于其设计的图形符号，以及正式的知识表示语言，以使它们能够由计算机执行以支持医疗程序和临床决策的管理。PROforma技术包括一个用于创建指南的图形化知识编辑器，以及一个用于测试和执行指南的执行引擎。本文概述了PROforma的动机和结构，并说明了其在临床应用程序开发中的用途。(C)1997 Elsevier Science爱尔兰有限公司
The need for flexible and well understood knowledge representations which are capable of capturing clinical guidelines and protocols for decision support systems is widely recognised, The PROforma method for specifying clinical guidelines and protocols comprises a graphical notation for their design, and a formal knowledge representation language to enable them to be executed by a computer ro support the management of medical procedures and clinical decision making. PROforma technology consists of a graphical knowledge editor for the creation of guidelines, and an enactment engine for testing and executing them. This paper provides an overview of the motivation and structure of PROforma, and illustrates its use in the development of clinical applications. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
