Abstract

Research suggests that browsing clinical guidelines in a linear format is difficult for users. One national producer of clinical guidelines (HAS, the French National Authority for Health) has recently developed a new document format designed to improve accessibility. It is a limited-depth hypertext structurally constrained so that all information lies within two clicks of a central index ('reco2clics'). In the following paper, we introduce an authoring tool which converts full-length clinical guidelines to the 'reco2clics' format. Alongside routine editorial operations, this tool supports dynamic document restructuring, a complex operation using text segmentation algorithms and deontic analysis.
