Decision making and management are problems which plague health systems in developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa where there is significant waste of resources. The need goes beyond national health management information systems, to tools required in daily micro-management of various components of the health system. This paper describes an integrated expert system, Health-2000, an information-oriented tool for acquiring, processing and disseminating medical knowledge, data and decisions in the hospital of the future. It integrates six essential features of the medical care environment: personnel management, patient management, medical diagnosis, laboratory management, propharmacy, and equipment management. Disease conditions covered are the major tropical diseases. An intelligent tutoring feature completes the package. Emphasis is placed on the graphical user interface to facilitate interactions between the user and the system, which is developed for PCs using Pascal, C, Clipper and Prolog.
决策与管理是困扰发展中国家卫生系统的问题，尤其是在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，那里存在着严重的资源浪费现象。需求不仅限于国家卫生管理信息系统，还包括卫生系统各个组成部分日常微观管理所需的工具。本文介绍了一个集成专家系统——Health-2000，这是一个面向信息的工具，用于在未来医院中获取、处理和传播医学知识、数据及决策。它整合了医疗环境的六个基本特征：人员管理、患者管理、医学诊断、实验室管理、药剂学和设备管理。所涵盖的疾病状况为主要的热带疾病。一个智能辅导功能完善了该软件包。重点在于图形用户界面，以促进用户与系统之间的交互，该系统是使用Pascal、C、Clipper和Prolog为个人电脑开发的。
