Fuzzy logic expert systems in hospital: A foundation view

Abstract

Most of the prescribing and dispensing software systems assessed did not offer consistently useful, relevant support to GPs and pharmacists for making decisions about potentially interacting drugs or usual fatal error in prescribing. The systems varied markedly, due in part to the use of different knowledge bases but also to variable use of the same knowledge base but all traditional system used a regular expert system that not exactly match with the medical concepts and rule. In this study we mentioned the limitation of usual expert system for prescription and drug interaction checking. We proposed the architecture and fundamental of fuzzy expert system for improving the performance of prescription. © 2011 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
