The aim of this 2.5 days workshop is to bring together researchers from different branches of computer science (in particular AI), medical informatics and medicine to examine cutting-edge approaches to computer-based guideline modelling and development and work on completing a book on computer-based guidelines and protocols (see below). The workshop can be seen as a follow-up to similar workshops, in particular the first European workshop on "Computer-based Support for Clinical Guidelines and Protocols" (Leipzig, 2000), the symposium on "Computerised Guidelines and Protocols" (CGP-2004 in Prague, 2004), the track on protocols and guidelines at the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine conference 2005 (Aberdeen, 2005) and a workshop at ECAI-2006, "AI techniques in healthcare: evidence-based guidelines and protocols" (Riva del Garda, 2006).
The outcome of the workshop will be a book that will be published in 2008 by IOS Press, titled "Computer-based Medical Guidelines and Protocols: a Primer and Current Trends", which will include both research papers from the field and tutorial-style papers reviewing the state of the art.
During the workshop time will be devoted to collaborative work and discussion for which purpose the Lorentz Centre offers special facilities (see below).
Topics:
- guideline development and deployment in medical practice
- guideline representation languages
- guideline modelling methods
- use of formal methods in guidelines
- temporal aspects of guidelines
- vocabularies, ontologies and terminologies
- planning
- guideline adaptation
- visualisation and guidelines
- guideline compliance
The official language of the workshop will be English.
