Well-designed medical decision support system (DSS) have been shown to improve health care quality. However, before they can be used in real clinical situations, these systems must be extensively tested, to ensure that they conform to the clinical guidelines (CG) on which they are based. Existing methods cannot be used for the systematic testing of all possible test cases. We describe here a new exhaustive dynamic verification method. In this method, the DSS is considered to be a black box, and the Quinlan C4.5 algorithm is used to build a decision tree from an exhaustive set of DSS input vectors and outputs. This method was successfully used for the testing of a medical DSS relating to chronic diseases: the ASTI critiquing module for type 2 diabetes.
设计良好的医学决策支持系统(DSS)已被证明能提高医疗质量。然而,在将这些系统应用于实际临床情况之前,必须对其进行广泛测试,以确保它们符合其所基于的临床指南(CG)。现有方法无法用于对所有可能的测试用例进行系统测试。我们在此描述一种新的穷举动态验证方法。在这种方法中,DSS被视为一个黑箱,并且使用昆兰C4.5算法从一组详尽的DSS输入向量和输出构建决策树。该方法已成功用于测试一个与慢性病相关的医学DSS:2型糖尿病的ASTI评估模块。
