We need (if it is not already available) a syntax or means of
describing a guideline that renders it easy to convert into the
proprietary tools used by EMIS; Meditel; Torex and some other system
suppliers with varying degrees of success.
This should be written so that it can be displayed in a web browser,
or perhaps a word processor, and it should have an editing tool to
allow production of generic guidelines.
Arden syntax and medical logic module stuff is promising, but seems
not quite to do it yet..
One could imagine a web browser with a Java applet being capable of
the task.
