The GLARE system goes one step ahead and also incorporates a decision support system for knowledge execution purposes cheap 0,75mg plan b with visa. GLARE system has been tested for applicability in medical domains like bladder cancer, reflux esophagitis, and heart failure at the Laboratorio di Informatica Clinica, Torino, Italy. Future Trends While medical decision support systems have been around for the past four decades, its usage among clinicians is still questionable. Several variables play a role in a success of a medical decision support system and it is important to address these to move ahead from where we stand now. Issues like physician reluctance, intimidating systems, proprietary interests, local practice, technological factors, and outdated knowledgebase are all limiting factors for the growth and acceptance of computer-based decision support Copyright © 2005, Idea Group Inc.

In addition to these limitations, the decision making functions are no longer limited to the physicians. The patients, healthcare administrators, insurance carriers, healthcare professionals, policy makers, risk analysts, and the government at large are all stakeholders in this medical decision making process. It will be extremely limiting to tie down these requirements to local proprietary computer systems. While the field of medicine pioneered the knowledge sharing techniques among decision support systems, the introduction of several sharing standards segmented market as a net result defeated the purpose of such standard. The growth, availability, and acces- sibility of the Internet opened the door for development of a new model for sharing medical knowledge and decision support systems across networks. Internet-based decision support systems with focus on a particular medical domain will be prevalent in the future. For example, several medical guideline modeling languages are using a common interface for knowledge acquisition purposes.

Before 1939, more than 600 research studies on massage appeared in the main journals of medicine in Preparations English.
