GLIF stands for Guideline Interchange Format. It is a format for the str= uctured representation of clinical guidelines. It incorporates patient stat= es, decisions, actions and links in a computer processable way. Yet it is a= lso designed for the sharing of guidelines, and may be itself represented i= n a form that people can process. Accordingly, the GLIF editor developed by= Medical Objects has computer processing occurring underneath the surface, = yet the clinicians using (and producing the guidelines) see an intuitive fl= owchart interface. The real advantage of computerised guidelines is their a= bility to take guidelines directly to the point of care. It is ineffective = having guidelines that exist only in a book on the shelf gathering dust - h= aving context appropriate computerised decision support whilst in the proce= ss of delivering patient care improves patient care.
Decision points in the GLIF flowchart can be enabled to happen automatic= ally by using GELLO v.2 to evaluate computable decision criteria. This embe= ds the didactic decision support pages, along with a highlighted decision f= lowchart into the clinician's workflow in a manner which is purposefully di= stinct from 'decision support' e-books approaches! Examples would be GELLO = querying the patient's past pathology results or applying subsumption testi= ng of past medical history items against a reference terminology such as SN= OMED CT.
Here are some tutorials on how to use the GLIF Editor. An editor can be = downloaded from these pages.
They build on each other so it helps to do them in order.
Here's a video that shows some GLIF in action, with the underlying EN136= 06 archetypes, and some GELLO v.1 making decisions
