摘要: Computer-interpretable clinical guidelines (CIGs) aim to eliminate clinician errors, reduce practice variation, and promote best medical practices by delivering patient-specific advice during patient encounters. Clinical are being regularly updated revised handle expanding knowledge. When revising CIGs, much effort can be saved specifying changes among versions instead of encoding from scratch. A representation differences between could focus the process re-implementing CIGs in a environment help users understand embrace changes. Guideline versioning has not been adequately dealt with existing CIG formalisms. We present three approaches for versioning. Focusing on one approach, we developed tool based version 3 GuideLine Interchange Format (GLIF3), used it represent two guideline management community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) them.
