A Personalization Environment for Multi-version Clinical Guidelines

In this work, we introduce a personalization environment for the representation and efficient management of multi-version clinical guidelines. The environment is composed of an XML repository accessed through a personalization engine, which uses temporal perspective, patient profile and context information to reconstruct a guideline version tailored to a specific use case. In particular, we apply and extend to clinical guidelines solutions we previously developed for norm texts in the legal domain, and show how multi-version representation capabilities and personalization query facilities can be added to their management.
