title: Exceptions handling within GLARE clinical guideline framework.
abstract: Computerized clinical guidelines (CIGs) are widely adopted in order to assist practitioner and patient decision making. However, a main problem in their adoption is the fact that, during guidelines executions on specific patients, unpredictable facts and conditions (henceforth called exceptions) may occur. A proper and immediate treatment of such exception is necessary, but most current software systems coping with CIGs do not support it. In this paper, we describe how the GLARE system has been extended to deal with exceptions in CIGs.
