Backgrounds:
The size of medical strategies is expected to grow in conjunction with the expansion of modern diseases' complexity. When a strategy includes more than ten statements, its manual management becomes very challenging, and in some cases, impossible. As a result, the updates they get may result in the unavoidable appearance of anomalies. This causes an interruption in the outflow of imperfect knowledge.
Methods:
In this paper, we propose an approach called TAnom-HS to verify healthcare strategies. We focus on the management and maintenance, in a convenient and automatic way, of a large strategy to guarantee knowledge accuracy and enhance the efficiency of the inference process in healthcare systems.
Results:
We developed a prototype of our proposal and we applied it on some cases from the BioPortal repository. The evaluation of both steps of TAnom-HS proved the efficiency of our proposal.
Conclusion:
To increase ontologies expressiveness, a set of rules called strategy is added to it. TAnom-HS is a two-step approach that treats anomalies in healthcare strategies. Such a task helps to take automatic and efficient healthcare decisions.
