Abstract
We present an integrated medical management system that consists of a physician entered medical record, an established medical expert system, a test selection capability, a severity assessment, treatment protocols, and linkage to the medical literature. A simulated patient is used to demonstrate the system's capability and user friendliness. We show that at a single terminal all information needed to assist physicians in decision support can be provided.
