Abstract
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is becoming as one of the key components of current health information systems. Contemporary CDSS system requires more attention to design and implement. The crucial aspect of KB is the richness with respect to domain knowledge which is mainly dependent on domain experts. Domain experts have understanding of the domain and wisdom to create the knowledge. However, they often seek help from online knowledge resources to find new evidences about certain disease and clinical practices. This fact is especially true for cancer disease where improvements occur more frequently. Literature has proved that online knowledge resources are capable providing answers to questions that might not be answered relying only on clinician wisdom and experience. This paper provides the technique for meaningful integration of online knowledge resources with Smart CDSS. Clinicians can get enormous benefits from this approach to fulfill the gaps in the decisions during patients’ diagnosis and treatment.
