Abstract
There is a tremendous amount of effort involved in the definition of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) by physicians. Because the quality of medical assistance is highly impacted by the use of CPG, and establishing their use is difficult, we consider helpful to develop an effective solution that implements CPG through Decision Support Systems (DSS). Among the many existing representation models for CPG, we have selected and applied GLIF. In addition, we have created ontologies for the domains of asthma severity and Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision Aid approach (PROAFTN method). The results have been integrated into our DSS called Arnasa in order to provide support via Web to asthmatic patients.
