A Belief Rule Based clinical decision support system framework

Taking into account, the need for handling clinical information under uncertainty from clinical domain knowledge and clinical data in clinical decision making, we proposed a new Belief Rule Based (BRB) Architectural Framework to design a clinical decision support system (CDSS). It can handle uncertain information to support the clinical decision making process. This paper describes how to design a clinical knowledge base and inference process of a CDSS by using belief rule-based system with an evidential reasoning approach. A case study demonstrates to employ this BRB Architectural Framework in developing CDSS is a reliable novel approach.
