Modeling on clinical group decision support system for screening and working diagnosis acute respiratory infections

There are cases of patients with Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) which are not handled quickly and appropriately at emergency department (ED), thus there should be a medium that can assist medical personnel in making decisions. This research proposes the development model of Clinical Group Decision Support Systems (CGDSS) named KLISPA models. KLISPA model can accommodate a screening process to the working diagnosis process of ARI by integrating Case Based Reasoning (CBR) and Groups Decision Support System (GDSS). Screening process completed by CBR using Nearest Neighbor method. This process helps medical personnel such as nurses, co asst doctors, and general practitioners to do screening to patients for determining the early solution to the disease. Meanwhile, the working diagnosis solved by GDSS uses the methods of Eckenrode, Extended TOPSIS and BoostVote. This process accommodates the needs of joint decision-making which involves groups of Decision Maker (DM) consisting of pediatrician, child lung specialist doctor, and the radiologist doctor. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
