This study introduces a new menu-driven tool for accessing medical knowledge bases, improving clinical decision support. The system enhances retrieval and comparison of disease information for better medical reference.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Clinical Decision Support Systems
  • Knowledge Management in Healthcare

Background:

  • Conventional computer-assisted medical decision-making systems have shown limited clinical impact.
  • There is a need for improved utilization of medical knowledge bases in routine practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a prototype menu-driven browsing tool for medical knowledge bases.
  • To enhance clinician access to and retrieval of medical information.
  • To overcome limitations of previous medical reference system designs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a prototype menu-driven browsing tool.
  • Implementation of operations for disease class, name, and attribute interrogation.
  • Features for hierarchical display, printing, differential diagnosis list construction, and disease comparison.
