The inability of many clinical decision-su … The inability of many clinical decision-support applications to integrate withexisting databases limits the wide-scale deployment of such systems. Toovercome this obstacle, we have designed a data-interpretation module that canbe embedded in a general architecture for protocol-based reasoning and that cansupport the fundamental task of detecting temporal abstractions. We havedeveloped this software module by coupling two existing systems--RESUME andChronus--that provide complementary temporal-abstraction techniques at theapplication and the database levels, respectively. Their encapsulation into asingle module thus can resolve the temporal queries of protocol planners withthe domain-specific knowledge needed for the temporal-abstraction task and withprimary time-stamped data stored in autonomous clinical databases. We show thatother computer methods for the detection of temporal abstracitons do not scaleup to the data- and knowledge-intensive environments of protocol-baseddecision-support systems. of protocol-baseddecision-support systems.
