The 'Learnmore' project: information acquisition solutions for the long-term care information system.
Research and development efforts on Long Term Care (LTC) information systems are only beginning to appear in the literature. For the past two years, a small, interdisciplinary team of researchers (the Learnmore Team) have designed information solutions to information acquisition problems in LTC systems. This paper provides an overview of the Learnmore Team's proposed solutions to acquisition problems experienced by end-users (clinicians, students, and patients) and human experts. Solutions addressing information acquisition costs of integrated expert systems are also discussed. Critical issues and experiences gained during the development of these solutions are presented.
