Abstract


Currently, there are no clinical decision support information technologies (CDSIT) that would consider civil-legal grounds when forming a decision for clinicians. Therefore, the design, development, and implementation of CDSIT, which considers civil-legal grounds when forming decisions, are actual problems. Methodology for the development and application of knowledge-driven, rule-based, clinical decisions support information technologies with consideration of civil-legal grounds has been developed, which provides a theoretical basis for developing clinical decisions support information technology with consideration of civil-legal grounds and partial CDSITs regarding the possibility of providing medical services of a certain type. In addition to the conclusion about the possibility or impossibility of providing certain medical services, the developed methodology ensures the presence of all essential terms (from the viewpoint of civil law regulation) in the contract for the certain medical service's provision and/or the data on potential patients for the provision of such a service, as well as minimization of the influence of the human factor when making clinical decisions. It is advisable to evaluate the CDSITs with consideration of civil-legal grounds, developed according to the proposed methodology, from the viewpoint of the correctness of the decisions generated by them, as well as from the viewpoint of their usefulness for clinics. In this paper, experiments with the methodology-based CDSIT regarding the possibility of performing a surrogate motherhood procedure with consideration of civil-legal grounds were conducted. Such experiments showed the correctness of the generated decisions at the level of 97 %. Experiments also demonstrated the usefulness of such IT for clinics from the viewpoint of eliminating adverse legal consequences, as they might arise due to violation or disregard of legal, and moral and ethical norms.
