Abstract

From the Publisher:Medical expert systems are designed to help physicians and other healthcare providers give consistent optimal care to every patient. They also allow nonexperts (assisted by computer) to make diagnostic decisions with precision and accuracy approaching that of medical experts. Knowledge Engineering in Health Informatics gives an in-depth guide to the creation of such systems, using Iliad as a model. The book includes the core material for courses such as Medical Knowledge Engineering and Export System Development. Bundled with this book is a CD-ROM produced by Mosby-Year Book that contains an array of knowledge engineering tools featuring: a dictionary program to create hierarchical lists of terms, frame author to create decision frames, utilities to analyze the dictionary and frame content, a compiler to compile frames into a knowledge base, the Iliad 4.5 application, and a text file of the knowledge engineering tools user manual.
