| Abstract |
Clinical practice guidelines are important instruments to support clinical care. We have analyzed guidelines according to their semantic relations in order to generate a formal representation. We used the UMLS Semantic Network as a basis for our analysis. We defined relations that will be used to automatically identify the control flow described in guidelines for generating a computer-interpretable format. A study showed that by using semantic relations we are able to discover a large part of the control flow.
