Abstract

Translating clinical guidelines into formal models is beneficial in many ways, but expensive. The progress in medical knowledge requires clinical guidelines to be updated at relatively short intervals, leading to the term living guideline. This causes potentially expensive, frequent updates of the corresponding formal models.When performing these updates, there are two goals: The modelling effort must be minimised and the links between the original document and the formal model must be maintained. In this paper, we describe our solution, using tools and techniques developed during the Protocure II project.
