Interpretive reporting is an established part of the function of many clinical laboratories. Of the three types of information included in these reports, expert system technology is being demonstrated as useful in producing interpretive comments. The ability of expert systems to explain their reasoning and to be easily updated make them superior to prior attempts to computerize this type of interpretation using traditional computer languages. In the future, the broader application of these systems in realistic clinical environments should be expected given recent commercial success in embedding such programs in laboratory instruments.
解读性报告是许多临床实验室功能的既定组成部分。在这些报告所包含的三类信息中，专家系统技术已被证明在生成解读性评论方面很有用。专家系统能够解释其推理过程并易于更新，这使其优于以往使用传统计算机语言将此类解读计算机化的尝试。鉴于最近在将此类程序嵌入实验室仪器方面取得的商业成功，预计这些系统未来将在实际临床环境中得到更广泛的应用。
