<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have different clinical models thru which we send patient
data(HeartRate, MeanBP, etc...)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>and alert clinicians with different kind of alerts based on
output of model.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>every clinical model has certain activation rules, alert
rules. We are planning to use Drools for implementing those rules. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>a .drl file is implemented for each model and rule
type(activation rules, alert rules)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are thinking about two different kinds of implementations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1) Create a KnowledgeBase for each model and rule type. Now,
when we want to evaluate data<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>thru model-1, we insert the facts into that particular model
knowledge base statefulsession,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>and fire the rules.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2) Create one big KnowledgeBase for all the models and rule
types. Here, when we want to <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>evaluate data thru clinical model-1, we get a session out of
KnowledgeBase, insert facts,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>while firing rules we pass in agent filters to fire only
model-1 rules.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does 2nd approach have any advantages over the 1st approach.
If so, what are those advantages, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>or a link to that page would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
