OpenClinical: Stepper |
 | | Stepper, on the other hand, has been designed as a document-centric tool which takes a guideline text as its starting point, and splits the fomalisation process into multiple user-definable steps, each of which corresponds to an interactive XML transformation. |
| | Although Stepper has been designed to support a bottom-up, stepwise approach to guideline formalisation, the tool is not yet designed to support the development of a complete decision support application. |
| | The document-centric approach supported by the Stepper tool ensures that all additions of "external knowledge" (knowledge not contained in textual guidelines) are kept track of in the guideline model. |
