DXplain, a computer-based decision support system, is now accessible via the internet. This allows broader access to its medical knowledge and analytical capabilities for physicians and medical students.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Computer-Aided Decision Support

Background:

  • DXplain is a widely used computer-based system for medical education, reference, and decision support.
  • Previous access was limited to stand-alone systems and communication networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the user experience of accessing DXplain over the Internet.
  • To present two distinct World Wide Web (WWW) access protocols for DXplain.

Main Methods:

  • Developed and implemented two protocols for internet-based access to DXplain.
  • Protocol 1: Direct interaction with full DXplain functionality controlled by the MGH server.
  • Protocol 2: DXplain functionality provided as independent services callable by external applications.

Main Results:

  • Thousands of physicians and medical students have used DXplain.
  • Internet accessibility has been available for two years, serving both internal MGH and external institutions.
  • User experience with both WWW access protocols is described.

Conclusions:

  • DXplain's knowledge and analytical capabilities are now available as a resource to other applications via the internet.
  • The developed protocols facilitate broader integration and utilization of DXplain's features.
  • Internet accessibility enhances the reach and utility of this medical decision support system.
