TL;DR: Clinical guidelines components that the CIG community could adopt as standards are identified, including plan organization, expression language, conceptual medical record model, medical concept model, and data abstractions.

TL;DR: The open-end variant of the DTW algorithm is suitable for the classification of truncated quantitative time series, even in the presence of noise.

TL;DR: The hazard of the end point was 27 times higher in patients with flares along with rapid increased in plasma creatinine than in patients without flares or with flares with proteinuria alone.

TL;DR: This paper describes a methodology for achieving an efficient implementation of clinical practice guidelines based on computational formalisms representing both medical and health care organisational knowledge, and shows that the 'workflow management' technology, widely used in business process automation, may be transferred to the health care setting.

TL;DR: The paper presents a classification of possible exceptions, and shows how the sequence of tasks described by a guideline may be altered, at the implementation level, in order to meet actual user needs, while maintaining guideline intentions as much as possible.
