Excerpt
Excerpt This paper describes an architecture designed to integrate advanced searching and indexing algorithms, an automatic thesaurus, or "concept space," and Kohonen-based Self-Organizing Map (SOM) technologies to provide searchers with fine-grained results. Initial results indicate that these systems provide complementary retrieval functionalities. HelpfulMed not only allows users to search Web pages and other online databases, but also allows them to build searches through the use of an automatic thesaurus and browse a graphical display of medical-related topics. Evaluation results for each of the different components are included. Our spidering algorithm outperformed both breadth-first search and PageRank spiders on a test collection of 100,000 Web pages. The automatically generated thesaurus performed as well as both MeSH and UMLS-systems which require human mediation for currency. (Abstract) Access is also provided to evidence-based medical databases (EBM)such as the American College of Physicians Journal Club(ACP), National Guidelines Clearinghouse (NGC) and the York Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE)Medical librarians at the Arizona Health Science..(Section 3.3, page 5) |

Claims
1
A system for clinical decision support, the system including:
a crawler agent component,
wherein the crawler agent component is adapted to receive a search parameter, wherein the search parameter specifies a criteria for evidence data to be searched for, and
wherein the crawler agent component is adapted to initiate a search of a plurality of evidence sources based at least in part on the search parameter, wherein the search identifies the evidence data, wherein the evidence data is utilized by the clinical decision support system to provide decision support to a healthcare provider for a patient.
Relevance
The paper discloses the feature of searching online medical databases (including evidence based databases) using spiding (crawling) algorithm based on input keywords and automatically generated thesaurus. Therefore, it overlaps with the aspects mentioned in the claim.
