Abstract

Public health care has to make use of the potentials of IT to meet the enormous demands on patient management in the future. Embedding artificial intelligence in medicine may lead to an increase in health care quality and patient safety. One possibility in this respect is the use of knowledge-based decision support systems which facilitate the practice of evidence-based medicine. Conditions for such a system are structured data sources to extract relevant data for the proposed decision. Therefore, the demonstrator “allo-tool” was designed. To develop the allo-tool a user-orientated process was applied and future users of the later software were integrated in each step of the development process. The concept of introducing a "Medical decision support system based on the model of Stem Cell Transplantation" was developed afterwards. The global objectives of the planned system are (1) to improve patient safety (2) to support patient autonomy and (3) to optimize the work flow of medical personnel.
