Dear Glyn,
What you write, in the long piece, which I snipped away, is 100% correct.
But this is only part of the decision support I want.
If support will be stated in rules, as it will, I need rules for :
- handling archives, records;
- handling groups of patient: family, area, diagnosis, complaint, treatment
plan, etc;
- handling one patient: diagnostics, treatment plan, etc, etc;
- handling the doctor: the personal digital assistant ( reminders like:
tell me to make a phone call at a certain time, if patient X visits remind
me of a certain thing, etc
- and rules on all levels for handling exceptions.
I don't want rules for one part of my electronic way of handling
information and machines
