Hi All,

Well, after our great discussion on decision support and a call for a  
mailinglist and 40+ subscribers. We stopped talking. 🙂

So, never letting a list be quiet for too long, I thought I'd propose  
this restart.

Does anyone have success or failure stories that we can all learn from  
they would like to share concerning decision support in healthcare IT  
apps?

What technologies/approaches were used?

Embedded reminders  
Standalone response systems  
???

If/then constructs  
inference engines  
other AI?

Arden Syntax MLMs  
GLIF/GLEE/GELLO  
Proforma

other ...?

Cheers,  
Tim
