title: Experiences from the use of data-driven decision support in different environments.
abstract: The paper reports experiences from the implementation and use of data-driven decision support based on the Arden Syntax in three different environments: in a health-care centre, in a clinical laboratory, and in a research department. Methods and tools used for realization of decision support systems (DSSs) are shortly presented, and integration aspects of the DSS with running clinical applications and existing patient databases are discussed. The application areas are also described, together with validation procedures for the developed knowledge modules.
