Goal: Share Guideline Models

•Creating a Computer-interpretable guideline model takes much effort

•Interpretation of content is made during that process

•We would like to share the encoded guideline to save effort and enforce consistency

Page 3: Diversity and Standardization in the Development of Clinical Guideline Models: Room for both

Approaches for Sharing

• A repository of guideline models encoded in a guideline formalism– DeGeL (Digital Electronic Guideline Library) (Shahar)– Publets support enactment, encourage review (Fox)

• An interchange format for translating between guideline formalisms

• An execution engine that supports several guideline formalisms (Wang)

• A standard guideline formalism (HL7 Guidelines SIG)– With authoring, validation, and execution tools

Benefits of a Standard formalism

• Ease sharing of encoded guidelines • Concentrate efforts on developing

– better tools for authoring, validating, disseminating, executing & revising GLs in the standard format (vendors)

– methods to facilitate local adaptation and integration with EMRs and HISs

• Compliance with standards: HL7 standards• Should developers encode guidelines in the

standard or in specialized formalisms?– If they will encode in specialized formalisms, then

parts of the encoding could be mapped to the common format
