Description
Using the architecture of ATHENA-CDS, a Knowledge-based System (KBS) that provides guideline-based treatment recommendations, we developed a framework with nine categories to identify the potential sources of errors in KBS. Using 206 test cases, we found 69 discrepancies: 12 Knowledge-base, 4 Mapping Tables, 7 Testing Database, 6 Testing Environment, 20 Software Specification, and 20 Domain Expert. We hope this framework will aid in the categorization of errors for other Knowledge-based Clinical Decision Support systems.
Describe the new knowledge and additional skills the participant will gain after attending your presentation.: Understand the potential sources of errors uncovered during software testing of Knowledge-based Clinical Decision Support systems and be able to classify the errors into categories and groups.
