Abstract

The Arden Syntax for Medical Logic Modules is a language for encoding medical knowledge bases that consist of independent modules. The Arden Syntax has been used to generate clinical alerts, diagnostic interpretations, management messages, and screening for research studies and quality assurance. An Arden Syntax knowledge base consists of rules called Medical Logic Modules (MLMs), which are stored as simple ASCII files that can be written on any text editor. An MLM is made of slots grouped into three categories: maintenance information, library information, and the actual medical knowledge. Most MLMs are triggered by clinical events, evaluate medical criteria, and, if appropriate, perform an action such as sending a message to a health care provider. This paper provides a detailed tutorial on how to write MLMs.
