| Development of a controlled medical terminology: knowledge acquisition and knowledge representation |
| Abstract | The creation of controlled medical termino … The creation of controlled medical terminologies is a central challenge in thedevelopment of electronic patient records. In the T-Helper patient-recordsystem, which has been designed for the care of patients with HIV infection, amodule known as IVORY allows health-care workers to compose textual progressnotes by making selections from menus that the system generates automaticallyfrom a controlled medical terminology. Construction of the IVORY vocabulary hasrequired extensive design sessions with a team of computer scientists and anexpert physician. Refinement of the vocabulary was possible only when thedesign team could envision how the completed T-Helper system would be used inthe context of clinical practice. Development of controlled medicalterminologies is a problem in knowledge acquisition. Techniques used to acquireand represent clinical concepts for the purpose of building decision-supportsystems also are appropriate for the construction of controlled vocabulariessuch as the one in T-Helper. d vocabulariessuch as the one in T-Helper. |
