ESCPP: An Evaluation and Alerting System for the Compatibility between Practice Guidelines and Practicing Medicine Using Arden Syntax

The clinical quality is influenced by the disseminating velocity of new medical knowledge and the rate of patients that receive evidence-based clinical service. In this study, we introduced an evaluation and alerting system for the compatibility between practice guidelines and medicine practices using Arden Syntax (ESCPP) based on EGADSS. We also introduced an approach to automatically create CDA file from XForms file using metadata. The knowledge is coded in Arden Syntax with MLM. CDA file was used for information exchange. Currently, ESCPP has been used to evaluate the compatibility of summary medical records from hospitals. It could also give alert messages at the point of care using Infobutton.
