Goal-Based Decisions for Dynamic Planning

Abstract. The need for clinical guidelines to be implemented at different sites, to adapt to rapidly changing environments, and to be carried out by distributed clinical teams, implies a degree of flexibility beyond that of current guideline languages. We propose an extension to the PROforma language allowing hierarchical goal-based plans. Sub-plans to achieve goals are proposed at runtime so that changing circumstances may be flexibly accommodated without redefining the workflow.
