| Popis: | Transferability is a key issue in the development and implementation of medical decision support systems. Such systems have up to now tended to be confined to the development site. Transferability represents the integrated effect of several more basic attributes of Decision Support Systems. These attributes can be considered to belong to two main groups: those concerned with the Medical Domain (of the system) and those concerned with the Information Technology by which the System functions. Among the Domain issues the most important are: Epidemiology, Terminology and Methodology. Concerning the Information Technology issues the most important are: Knowledge Acquisition and Representation methods, Database design and integration with inference mechanism. The effect of each of the individual factors is considered by illustrations from the literature and by studying the results of recent experiments where databases and decision support systems from different countries are interchanged. This exercise allows some planning in the design of future systems with the aim of improving overall transferability and therefore applicability. |
