Clinical decision support, medical knowledge representation and workflow technology were discussed. Key points include: 1) Clinical informatics uses knowledge representation methods like terminologies, facts, and clinical guidelines to model medical knowledge. 2) Workflow technology can automate healthcare processes and clinical pathways using editors, engines and worklist handlers. 3) The presenter's research uses a tool called RetroGuide that applies workflow concepts to retrospectively analyze patient data using temporal modeling, helping improve care quality.
