Towards a PropeR combination of patient records and protocols.
The combination of a computer-based patient record system with a decision support system may give physicians the decisive push they need to accept such systems. In the PropeR-project we determine the requirements for a generic interface between both such systems and measure its potential impact on patient care. In this overview we describe the objectives, the experimental approach, and the current state of the PropeR-project. We also discuss the original positions behind the project.
