  • Title: Empirical analysis of knowledge bases to support structured output in the Arden syntax.
    Author: Jenders RA.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2013; 192():1058. PubMed ID: 23920832.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Structured output has been suggested for the Arden Syntax to facilitate interoperability. OBJECTIVE: Tabulate the components of WRITE statements in a corpus of medical logic modules (MLMs)in order to validate requiring structured output. METHODS: WRITE statements were tabulated in 258 MLMs from 2 organizations. RESULTS: In a total of 351 WRITE statements, email destinations (226) predominated, and 39 orders and 40 coded output elements also were tabulated. Free-text strings predominated as the message data. CONCLUSIONS: Arden WRITE statements contain considerable potentially structured data now included as free text. A future, normative structured WRITE statement must address a variety of data types and destinations.
