传统上，医学知识的传播是通过出版文献和参与临床实践。信息技术可以通过电子出版和虚拟现实培训等方式扩大这两种传播方式。人工智能通过以专家系统的形式发布临床专业知识的可能性来实现更彻底的变化，这些专家系统通过主动决策支持和工作流程管理来帮助患者护理。PROforma是一种知识表示语言，旨在支持这种新的传播模式。它基于护理过程的直观模型和易于理解的逻辑语义。本文提供了一个描述的语言和相关的软件工具，并讨论了其潜在的作用，并影响，医学知识出版。(C)1998 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
Medical knowledge is traditionally disseminated via the publication of documents and through participation in clinical practice. Information technology offers to extend both modes of dissemination, via electronic publishing and virtual reality training, for example. AI promises even more radical changes through the possibility of publishing clinical expertise in the form of expert systems, which assist patient care through active decision support and workflow management. PROforma is a knowledge representation language that is designed to support this new mode of dissemination. It is based on an intuitive model of the processes of care and well-understood logical semantics. This paper provides a description of the language and associated software tools, and discusses its potential roles in, and implications for, medical knowledge publishing.
