Abstract

Healthcare decision making demands the systematic integration of knowledge from multiple sources, such as clinical guidelines, clinical pathways, knowledge of practitioners and so on. We present a semantic web based approach for synthesizing health knowledge through the semantic modeling of healthcare knowledge as ontologies and reasoning over the ontologies to derive a morphed knowledge object. We demonstrate the application of our approach by generating morphed knowledge about prostate cancer clinical pathways.
