Interaction model

Informaticians have been developing knowledge-based clinical decision support systems for over 30 years with many notable successes [Reisman, 1996]. Once the arduous tasks of collecting the medical knowledge required and developing an accurate computer understandable representation scheme are complete, the informatician must determine the appropriate user interaction model. Several different interaction models have been developed over the years. The following sections briefly describe each of the five main user interaction models and provide examples of successful systems that have been developed using each of them.
