RESUMO

Clinical guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. Since well elaborated, they provenly improve medical assistance quality. Oftenly clinicians aren t used to paper written guidelines and don t apply them adequately. Implemented in computer systems guidelines can significantly improve medical care quality directly at the point-of-care. This work is related to ST-Guide project, an initiative arisen at the Institute of Computing of State University of Campinas (IC-UNICAMP) to solve the practice guideline formalization and implementation problems. The contributions done were: (a) project restructuring on other technologies; (b) extensible architecture specification and implementation to support guideline modelling and implementation; (c) conceptual changes to ease modelling; (d) new incompletude and ambiguity logical verification algorithm; and (e) guideline graphical development environment coupled with a real time logical verifier. Experiments based on pre-natal assistence and hypertension clinical guidelines are presented and the text is concluded with a discussion of what was done and future work suggestions
