Abstract: A problem solving expert system is provided which is particularly useful in managing the health care of individual patients. A description of a problem (e.g., medical condition) and a proposed solution therefor (e.g., medical procedure) is entered via a user interface. A topical library is searched to identify information relevant to the problem and proposed solution. Access to the identified information is available in either a full text or synopsis format, to assist a user in assessing the appropriateness of the proposed solution. An inference engine provides a recommendation to the user as to the appropriateness of the proposed solution based on information entered via the user interface and rules associated with the inference engine. A user can interact with the inference engine in either a structured or guided mode. The structured mode is directed to inexperienced users and dynamically generates questions in response to previous answers provided by the user to enable the inference engine to make its recommendation. The guided mode is directed to experienced users and provides a predefined questionnaire enabling the user to decide which questions to answer in order to obtain a recommendation.

Abstract translation: 提供了一个解决问题的专家系统，在管理个体患者的医疗保健方面特别有用。 通过用户界面输入问题的描述（例如，医疗条件）及其提出的解决方案（例如医疗程序）。 搜索一个专题图书馆来识别与问题相关的信息和提出的解决方案。 访问所标识的信息可以以全文或简要格式提供，以帮助用户评估拟议解决方案的适用性。 推理引擎基于通过用户界面输入的信息和与推理机相关联的规则向用户提供关于所提出的解决方案的适当性的建议。 用户可以以结构化或引导模式与推理机进行交互。 结构化模式针对无经验的用户，并响应于用户提供的先前答案动态地产生问题，以使推理机能够推荐。 指导模式针对有经验的用户，并提供预定义的问卷，使用户能够决定要回答哪些问题以获得建议。
