Empirical analysis of knowledge bases to support structured output in the Arden syntax
1Center for Biomedical Informatics & Department of Medicine, Charles Drew University, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background:
Structured output has been suggested for the Arden Syntax to facilitate interoperability.
Objective:
Tabulate the components of WRITE statements in a corpus of medical logic modules (MLMs)in order to validate requiring structured output.
Methods:
WRITE statements were tabulated in 258 MLMs from 2 organizations.
Results:
In a total of 351 WRITE statements, email destinations (226) predominated, and 39 orders and 40 coded output elements also were tabulated. Free-text strings predominated as the message data.
Conclusions:
Arden WRITE statements contain considerable potentially structured data now included as free text. A future, normative structured WRITE statement must address a variety of data types and destinations.
