An ontology-driven clinical decision support system (IDDAP) for infectious disease diagnosis and antibiotic prescription

作者：

Highlights：

• A decision support system (DSS) is proposed for assisting in prescription of antibiotics at the point of primary care.

• The DSS adopts a patient-centered, step-wise decision support system using subjective judgment of the patients.

• Based on the re-use of existing biomedical ontologies, a complete and large domain ontology is constructed.

• DSS can fully utilize the infectious disease and antibiotics information for the diagnosis classification.
