Table 1 Main features of the CPG patterns in the literature: input, output, transformation type, and goal
From: Leveraging workflow control patterns in the domain of clinical practice guidelines
Pattern type | Input | Output | Transformation | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Linguistic patterns [20] | Guideline text | Annotated guideline text | Automatic | Automatic identification of activity information, for mark-up. Applied as a pre-processing step in the manual development of CPG models. |
Syntactic and semantic patterns [22] | Guideline text | Partial CPG model in an executable language | Semi-automatic | Semi-automatic generation of partial CPG models. |
Semantic relation patterns [23] | Guideline text | Annotated guideline text | Automatic | Automatic identification of activity information. Can be applied in combination with syntactic and semantic patterns. |
Design patterns [24] | Guideline text | CPG model in an executable language | Manual | Based on specific-purpose templates (screening and immunization) used in the manual development of CPG models. |
Implementation patterns | CPG model in an intermediate notation | Partial CPG model in an executable language | Semi-automatic | Semi-automatic generation of partial CPG models using generic transformations (based on workflow patterns). |
