Objective
The future growth of health informatics in Europe will be critically dependent upon the availability of tools and facilities which enable the rapid implementation of high quality systems. Such tools and facilities must be usable on a Community-wide basis, and applicable to a wide range of applications. This project develops the concept of an Integrated Health Information and Decision Support Workbench (Health Bench), which will provide a framework for tools designed to assist the implementation and operation of health computing applications.
The future system will be able to support the definition and prototyping of Health Information System components, including databases, and general purpose software modules (applications) for decision support, independently of each particular health sub-domain in which it will be used. Some of these modules will consist of simple storage/query/reporting applications, but others will be more sophisticated (expert) systems to aid, for example, in making diagnostic and other decision tasks. The workbench will also be able to generate default versions of the most useful forms of Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) including linguistic ones (for each specific sub-domain).
The project is aimed at defining the basic requirements, at modelling the most general objects in the medical universe that will be used in the context of the various specific sub-domains, at defining a general architecture of the workbench and finally at implementing specific software prototypes in order to test the feasibility of the envisaged system
By the end of this project a clear definition and feasibility study for an Integrated Health Information and Decision Support Workbench will be completed and some of its implementation aspects will be tested by means of the construction of their software prototypes. Hence, a final effort could then be started for the actual construction of the envisaged system.
Already existing methods (like object orientation) will be used to define all static and dynamic aspects of the envisaged contexts and existing software tools (like Database Management Systems, Applications Generators and Expert System Shells) will be used to implement the specific software prototypes.
Work will be done in the areas of Medical Knowledge Representation, Databases, Linguistic Human/Machine Interfaces (Generation of Dedicated Medical Language Tools) and Reasoning from Medical Databases.
