Inhaltsangabe

The "information explosion" in recent decades has made it impossible for practicing physicians (even specialists) to keep up with all the information potentially at their disposal. As a result, it is not surprising that empirical studies have shown that physicians do not always make optimal decisions. Thus, medical expert systems are now available to support - not replace - physicians and healthcare providers in their goal of providing the best possible healthcare to every patient. Knowledge Engineering in Health Informatics is a guide to the creation of such systems. Presenting the core material for courses such as Medical Knowledge Engineering and Expert System Development, it allows non-experts to make diagnostic decisions with the precision and accuracy of medical experts thanks to the help of the computer.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Medical expert systems are designed to help physicians and other healthcare providers give consistent optimal care to every patient. They also allow nonexperts (assisted by computer) to make diagnostic decisions with precision and accuracy approaching that of medical experts. Knowledge Engineering in Health Informatics gives an in-depth guide to the creation of such systems, using Iliad as a model. The book includes the core material for courses such as Medical Knowledge Engineering and Export System Development. Bundled with this book is a CD-ROM produced by Mosby-Year Book that contains an array of knowledge engineering tools featuring: a dictionary program to create hierarchical lists of terms, frame author to create decision frames, utilities to analyze the dictionary and frame content, a compiler to compile frames into a knowledge base, the Iliad 4.5 application, and a text file of the knowledge engineering tools user manual.
