Method | Description | Implementations |
---|---|---|
Work-flow driven 1 | Logical flows contain statements that reference and manipulate clinical data, usually executed in a serial manner, with control structures that direct the flow of decision making through the procedure. | |
Rules-based reasoning 1 | Medical knowledge is captured through a collection of IF-THEN expressions. Reasoning by forward chaining (the most common one) links rules together until a conclusion is reached. | |
Probabilistic reasoning 1,2 | Bayesian networks and graphical representation that describes the causal relationships between diseases and symptoms with conditional probabilities. | [53] |
Machine learning (ML) 2 | Machine learning and statistical techniques, by learning or training, are used on existing, large datasets of clinical data. |
