Abstract

QMR-KAT is a computer-based tool which assists physicians in the construction of the QMR medical knowledge base. Each QMR disease profile results from an in-depth analysis of the published medical literature, and from consultations with expert clinicians. QMR-KAT is an interactive knowledge acquisition program which facilitates the creation of new disease profiles, records the supporting evidence for each disease profile entry, and enforces consistency with the existing knowledge base. The program has been used in the creation of all new QMR disease profiles over the past two years. It has also been used to support a study on the reproducibility of knowledge base construction.
