ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE THROUGH MODELS

我们建议开发和演示两个围绕以下内容构建的信息系统 医疗决策模型。 这个项目的第一个目标是开发和运行一个信息 改善获取有关显式医学模型的知识的系统 决策制定、决策支持技术(DST)。这个系统将是 旨在回答DST开发人员、临床医生、医疗保健人员 管理员和其他专业人员。为了实现这一目标，我们将 实施多对多关系数据库并使用 来自文献和其他来源的最新信息。 另一个具体目标是为医学生提供 围绕决策支持和决策支持的明确模型组织的医学知识 评估他们对这个系统的使用对他们的理解的影响 以及他们解决临床问题的能力。通过这些 基于计算机的工具，每个学生都可以轻松地访问所有组件 集成的医疗信息系统，包括患者数据， 对这些数据的解释，这些解释的逻辑基础， 以及医学中所包含的逻辑的实验基础 文学。此外，学生们将学习如何构建和测试他们的 将自己的决策模型作为一种解决问题的活动。

We propose to develop and demonstrate two information systems built around medical decision models. The first aim of this project is to develop and operate an information system to improve access to knowledge about explicit models of medical decision making, Decision Support Technologies (DSTs). This system will be designed to respond to queries from DST developers, clinicians, health care administrators and other professionals. To accomplish this we will implement a many-to-many relational database and maintain it with up-to-date information from the literature and other sources. The other specific aim is to provide medical students with a source of medical knowledge organized around explicit models of decision support and to evaluate the effect their use of this system has on their understanding of medicine and their ability to solve clinical problems. Through these computer-based tools, each student will have easy access to all components of an integrated medical information system, including patient data, interpretations of that data, the logical basis for those interpretations, and the experimental basis for the logic as contained in the medical literature. In addition, the students will learn to build and test their own decision models as a problem solving activity.
