  1. Computational Thinking to Support Clinicians and Biomedical Scientists June 21–22, 2011 Automated Reasoning forApplication of Clinical Guidelines Mark A. Musen, M.D., Ph.D. Mary K. Goldstein, M.D., M.Sc. Samson W. Tu, M.S.

  2. GLINDA: GuideLineINteraction Detection Architecture • Computational methods for reasoning about evidence-based practice • Mechanisms for dealing with the messiness of clinical situations • Application of multipleclinical-practice guidelines • Adjustments for patient co-morbidities • Adjustments for interactions among interventions

  3. GLINDA Project Team • Mark Musen, M.D., Ph.D.1 • Mary Goldstein, M.D., M.Sc.1,2 • Samson Tu, M.S.1 • Susana Martins, M.D., M.Sc.2 • CsongorNyulas, M.S.1 • Hyunggu Jung, M.S.1 • Pamela Kum,M.S.2 1 Stanford University, Stanford, CA 2 VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Palo Alto, CA

  4. Clinical Context of our Work • Populations are aging worldwide • Older adults tend to have multiple chronic conditions 75 million people in the US have two or more concurrent chronic conditions • Management of multiple co-morbidities presents challenging problems • Competing therapeutic goals • Interventions that interact • Difficulty achieving parsimonious treatment plans

  5. Role of Clinical Practice Guidelines • Clinical practice guidelines define evidence-based best practices • Lots of work on automating CPGs EON, InterMed (GLIF), SAGE, PROforma, Asbru, … • Almost all CPGs—and all systems to automate treatment in accordance with CPGs—focus on single diseases

  12. Encoded Guidelines ATHENA Hypertension ATHENA Heart Failure ATHENA Hyperlipidemia ATHENA Diabetes ATHENA Kidney Disease ATHENA Opioid Therapy

  13. Limitations of Single-Disease Guidelines [Boyd et al. JAMA 2005] • Simultaneous application of multiple guidelines leads to suboptimal care • Hypothetical 79-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, and osteoarthritis • If the relevant CPGs were followed, the hypothetical patient would be prescribed 12 medications and a complicated, pharmacologically inappropriate regimen • Application of CPGs needs to • Detect and repair conflicting interactions • Prioritize recommendations

  14. Recommendations for Hypertension

  15. Recommendations for Hyperlipidemia

  16. Recommendations for Diabetes

  17. Overview of GLINDA Approach • Incorporate our extensive experience with ATHENA CDS in an agent-oriented architecture • Use task–method decomposition to create agent-oriented model of procedural elements • Develop ontology of guideline interactions • Develop agents for detectingconflicts, repairing conflicts, prioritizing and integrating treatment recommendations

  37. Use of patient data to drive our work • We extracted 2455 complex, deidentified patient cases from the Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment (STRIDE) • We are applying our method for interaction detection to 226 selected cases selected for their combination of diseases and number of drugs • Formative evaluation of system performance drives knowledge-base evolution https://clinicalinformatics.stanford.edu/research/stride.html

  38. Conclusions • Systems that assist with guideline-based care need to address the messiness of actual clinical situations • An agent-oriented architecture allows for • Reasoning about comorbidities, application of multiple guidelines, and situation-specific interactions • Flexibility in experimenting with alternative computational workflows • Creating GLINDA will drive development of formal models for computational thinking about • Guideline interactions • Repair mechanisms • Prioritization of interventions
