Arden syntax
The Arden syntax is a programming language for the acquisition, description and exchange of medical knowledge in expert systems .
description
The knowledge is divided into independent modules ( Medical Logic Modules , MLM). The modules are divided into slots , which in turn are grouped into maintenance, library and knowledge categories. Each individual module must contain enough information to be able to make a specific decision. They can be time-sensitive and access external sources such as databases . Each module also contains information to keep the respective MLM database intact as well as links to other sources of knowledge.
Data evaluations, treatment protocols, display of contraindications , diagnostic analyzes and management suggestions are examples of the possible uses of language in medical and clinical operations.
origin
The Arden syntax developed from the HELP system of the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City , the CARE system of the Regenstrief Institute in Indianapolis , the first Arden system of the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City and various other predecessors at the beginning 1990s.
The language is named after the Arden Homestead in Harriman , New York, USA, where the first conference ("Arden Homestead Retreat") on the common use of medical knowledge took place.
