Abstract
This paper describes the Model Maker (MM) of HIOS+, a DSS for primary care and hospital environments. HIOS+ MM is used in the creation (modelling) and (re)presentation of models (knowledge (re)presentation) within a model base of the system. These models comprise medical protocols, standards and work agreements. Components of HIOS+ MM are: the Filter (which specifies and fires protocol networks on the basis of logical expressions and numerical equations), the Network (which specifies protocol networks consisting of nodes and branches) and the Detailed Diagnosis part (which specifies diagnoses in more detail). The presentation of knowledge to users of HIOS+ MM is done primarily by means of windows. For the representation of knowledge within the model base of HIOS+ use is made of rules, frames, a node creation algorithm and a collision detection and moving algorithm. In the development of HIOS+ MM, a Phased Development Method is used in combination with prototyping and iterative design.
