HT-ATTENDING. Critiquing the pharmacologic management of essential hypertension.
HT-ATTENDING is a computer system being developed to critique a physician's approach to the pharmacologic management of essential hypertension. The concept of having a computer critique a physician's plan of management (Medical Plan-Analysis) has already been implemented in ATTENDING, a system whose domain is anesthesia management. HT-ATTENDING extends this approach to a new medical domain. HT-ATTENDING's goal is (1) to assist a physician in formulating his approach to the hypertensive patient, (2) to help him avoid inadvertent management errors, (3) to introduce him to relevant new agents and modalities, and (4) to mention topical issues concerning hypertension management, all in the context of daily patient care.
