title: Information integration in a decision support system.
abstract: Electronic medical records pose a challenge because of the complex types of data which are included. Decision support systems must be able to deal effectively with these data types. In the expert system demonstrated here, a diversity of data types are included. These data are processed by three different methods. However, the different methods of processing are transparent to the user. An overall rule-based interface integrates the different methods into one comprehensive system.
