Implementation Guide Arden Syntax

This page will collect material for a Arden Syntax implementation guide.
Later, the documents will be finalized using the following Google Document: Link

General Outline

Arden Syntax: Context and History

Arden Syntax: Context and History

Syntax Description Part

Syntax Description

basically taken from Medexters How-To

Basic tasks (by example)

Basic tasks

  • common tasks (e.g. search a list for a specific value, sort a list of objects etc.)
  • small snippets of MLM code on how to solve specific problems (e.g. in former versions it was not possible to convert a String into a Date, this section should explain on how to do this)
    • calculate the current age in years from a given birthday
  • MLM to MLM interaction (call sub MLM, import MLM)
    • 5 example MLMs showing 'call sub MLMs' and 'import from other MLMs', taken from 'VHA CHIO Innovation project "Enhanced Clinical Decision Support for CPRS': Link
  • create complex knowledge bases with MLMs

Programming / Engineering Use Cases (how to implement ...):

Every use case should contain at least one example MLM.

  • decision trees/tables
  • production system
  • state machines / transitions
  • guidelines
  • fuzzy control
  • use of external knowledge bases
  • creation and maintenance of documents (e.g., CHICA system)
  • (any other ideas ?)

Clinical Use Cases

How to use Arden to deliver decision support in particular clinical or administrative scenarios

  • immunizations
  • hospital admission quality indicators
  • population-based decision support (e.g., infection control)
