Decision support need not take long at all. Once again it is a function of your database design and what type of decision support you are trying to achieve.
Malcolm Ireland and I did much mucking around with decision support integration into my program many years ago. Much of the decision support which will have a major impact on your practice is the big picture stuff - such as drug interactions, or provision of information to aid the clinician in decision support, or antibiotic guidelines, drug/disease interactions or simple age/sex related matters By the time gnuMed got up to any sort of sophisticated decision support - if it ever does, I suspect we will be running a Pentium20 rather than a Pentium 2 etc. Regards Richard On Sun, 22 May 2005 08:00 pm, Karsten Hilbert wrote: > On Sat, May 21, 2005 at 11:30:50PM +0800, Syan Tan wrote: > > I tried a little exercise in python using a project task used in an > > algorithm course, the puzzle-8 game.
