Experience Based Clinical Decision Support Systems: An Overview and Case Studies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 183))

Abstract

This chapter briefly overviews the evolution of the application of the Decisional DNA and the Set of Experience Knowledge Structure (SOEKS) in the medical domain and in particular in the specific case of the experience-based decision support systems. Decisional DNA, as a knowledge representation structure, offers great possibilities on gathering explicit knowledge of formal decision events as well as a tool for decision making processes. The chapter collates more than 10 years of continuous application of the aforesaid techniques into the medical domain in particular for supporting the clinical decision scenario.
