title: XForms and XML events to support decisions about medication management.
abstract: Representation and presentation of information in healthcare is problematic, including issues related to common formats and accessibility. XML technology infrastructure (particularly XForms and XML events) appears promising in addressing some of these issues. These technologies were investigated in the context of decision support for medication management. XForms allows rapid prototyping of information models and interfaces. XML events are useful to model simple alerts although currently limited by some components, such as date functionality.
