This study presents a framework for developing and using clinical practice guidelines. It uses ontological descriptions to ensure guidelines are shareable across institutions and adaptable to specific clinical settings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Clinical practice guidelines are crucial for evidence-based medicine.
  • Current guideline development and implementation face challenges in standardization and contextual adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a general framework for the development, dissemination, and use of clinical practice guidelines.
  • To enhance the shareability and contextual tailoring of medical guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Proposing an ontological description of medical knowledge.
  • Developing an ontological description of the organizational context.
  • Integrating knowledge and context ontologies for guideline adaptation.

Main Results:
