abstract = {Managing comorbid conditions, i.e., patients with multiple medical conditions, is quite challenging for Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) based on computerized Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG). In case of comorbidity, CDSS will need to recommend treatments from multiple different CPG, which may adversely interact (e.g., drug-disease interactions), or introduce inefficiencies. A-priori, static integration of computerized comorbid CPG is insufficient for clinical practice. In this paper, we present a solution for dynamic integration of CPG in response to evolving health profiles. Using Description and Transaction Logics, we define a set of CIG integration semantics for encoding integration decisions that cope with comorbidity issues at execution-time. These dynamic, transaction-based semantics are well-suited to roll back prior decisions when no longer safe or efficient; or, inversely, apply new decisions when relevant. Moreover, comorbid CIG integration should consider temporal properties of CIG tasks—at execution-time, these properties will be influenced by a range of temporal constraints. Given all temporal constraints, optimal task schedules will be calculated that will determine the feasibility of CIG integration decisions.},

abstract = {Behavior change approaches aim to assist patients in achieving self-efficacy in managing their condition. Social cognitive theory (SCT) stipulates self-efficacy as a central element to behavior change and provides constructs to achieve self-efficacy guided by person-specific action plans. In our work, to administer behaviour change in patient with chronic conditions, our approach entails the computerization of SCT-based self-efficacy constructs in order to generate personalized action plans that are suitable to an individual's current care scenario. We have taken a knowledge management approach, whereby we have computerized the SCT-based self-efficacy constructs in terms of a high-level SCT knowledge model that can be operationalized to generate personalized behaviour change action plans. We have collected and computerized behavior change content targeting healthy living and physical activity. Semantic web technologies have been used to develop the SCT knowledge model, represented in terms of an ontology and SWRL rules. The ontological SCT model can inferred to generate personalized self-management action plans for a given patient profile. We present formative evaluation of the clinical correctness and relevance of the generated personalized action plans for a range of test patient profiles},

abstract = {Nursing Care Plans (NCP) and Nursing Clinical Practice Guidelines (NCPG) promote evidence-based patient care, but in their paper form they are difficult to be applied at the point-of-care. We present our approach to generate patient-specific nursing care plans by modeling and computerizing these nursing knowledge resources. We present a Nursing CarePlan Ontology (NCO) that models the NCP and NCPG to realize an integrated knowledge base for designing and executing patient-specific nursing CarePlans. We adapted METHONTOLOGY methodology for ontology engineering to develop our OWL-based NCO, and instantiated a set of NCP and NCPG. We have developed an execution engine that provides recommendations to nurses based on the patient's data. NCO was successfully evaluated for representational accuracy and completeness using a set of test NCP and NCPG.},
