CorSage: A Critiquing System for Coronary Care
Year: 1989
Type: article
Abstract: Although knowledge-based medical consultation systems perform their tasks well, few have been adopted for regular use by physicians. Several issues that appear to contribute to acceptance problems are addressed in the design of CorSage, a decision support system for ischemic heart disease. Features of the system include automatic generation of admission and transfer notes, management plan critiquing, statistical risk assessment, and detailed on-line help. CorSage has been in regular clinical use in the Cedars-Sinai Cardiac Intensive Care Unit since January 1988. Medical residents are required to use the system to enter data for all patients admitted to the unit. This paper describes CorSage's capabilities and presents the results of two pilot studies to evaluate its acceptance by physician-users.
