| Abstract | A clinical decision support system (CDSS) is a software system that aids medical decision making and suggests recommendations to clinicians for evaluation in a short length of time. In this study, we describe such a system that is designed to provide immediate information pertaining to poisoning. Developing a CDSS for poisoning cases can compensate for the lack of specialized resource-intensive centers in the Philippines. The implementation of this system would extend the reach of the medical experts even to the underserved regions. The CDSS is implemented as a rule-based expert system with two major components the knowledge base and the inference engine. The project also involves the development of a knowledge acquisition tool (KAT) that would allow the addition of knowledge into the knowledge base. For interoperability, the CDSS can be accessed as a web service which follow the Health Level 7 Clinical Document Architecture (HL7 CDA). This paper describes the development of the knowledge base and the inferencing engine of our CDSS; the utilization of the inferencing mechanism of CLIPS, which is an expert system shell; the algorithms used as well as the problems encountered; the results observed after testing the program; and also the possible solutions and adjustments which could be done for the improvement and efficiency of the CDSS. The architecture of the Knowledge Acquisition Tool as well as its development is also described. |
