title: With good Intentions.
abstract: The use of intentions in computer-based guidelines may help to make them more flexible, easier to adapt to local standards, easier to evaluate and to improve. We see possibilities of using intentions in several areas: as a generator of actions which could be performed and then compared with the decision of the physician, as a method for pruning proposed actions based on current and previous patient data. In this contribution we present our approach to intention-based guidelines.
