This study introduces a method for building efficient decision-support systems (DSS) using Arden Syntax medical knowledge. The approach translates Arden Syntax into C++, enabling easier maintenance and implementation of medical knowledge in DSS.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Medical Informatics
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Medical knowledge representation is crucial for clinical decision-support systems (DSS).
  • Arden Syntax is a standardized language for encoding medical knowledge.
  • Implementing complex medical knowledge in DSS can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel method for implementing Arden Syntax knowledge modules within a decision-support system.
  • To demonstrate the efficiency and maintainability of a DSS built using an object-oriented approach.

Main Methods:

  • Medical knowledge modules written in Arden Syntax were syntax-checked.
  • Arden Syntax modules were translated into the C++ programming language.
  • The translated C++ code was compiled and linked to the decision-support system.

  • Tools such as a knowledge editor and translator were developed.

    • Main Results:

    • The object-oriented approach facilitated the implementation of Arden Syntax.
    • The developed tools enabled efficient translation and integration of medical knowledge.
    • A prototype DSS demonstrated the advantages of this method.
    • The resulting DSS was efficient and easy to maintain.

    Conclusions:

    • Translating Arden Syntax to C++ is a viable method for building efficient DSS.
    • The object-oriented approach enhances the implementation and maintenance of medical knowledge-based systems.
    • This method offers significant advantages for developing DSS that utilize Arden Syntax.
