Moving From Content to Knowledge - The Semantic Annotation of Clinical Content for Clinical Decision Support

Today, Evidence-Based Clinical Decision Support knowledge exists primarily in document form and is generally population-based. However, there has been a recognition in the field that CDS knowledge needs to be patient-centric, dynamic, and computable in order to be more impactful at the point-of-care and within clinical workflows. To achieve this aim, CDS knowledge must be captured and structured on sound semantic models which are commonly understood and accepted.

Though no one model entirely meets this need today, this presentation will describe efforts in this direction thanks to encouraging trends in Industry.
