title: A computerised guideline for the management of diabetes.
abstract: This paper describes an experience of computerising a clinical guideline for the management of Diabetes. This guideline is being used in a National Programme for Diabetes supported by the Health Ministry in Portugal, who is interested in supporting its use by General Practitioners. The prototype system was developed according to the Prestige Protocol Model that is briefly outlined. The main conclusions regarding practical design decisions are then reported, partly based on a preliminary evaluation of the system by GPs.
