Abstract: The efficient storage of medical knowledge is critical for the advancement of medicine; a flexible platform for the storage of knowledge is the need of the hour. Therefore, this work focuses on clinical pathways¡Xtools that effectively maintain the quality and control the cost of medicine¡Xto formulate a model for knowledge storage. In this work, ontology was employed as the fundamental theory to facilitate the construction of a flexible system. Using task and domain ontologies, clinical pathway knowledge becomes more accessible, as domain and operation knowledge are available separately. Moreover, taking into account the continued refinement of clinical pathways, this work developed cost-effective and quality health care systems, using quartile and variance computations to identify problematic treatments and pathways and to refine decision support systems. The integration of an ontological approach with quartile and variance algorithms for clinical pathways was im!
plemented by system development, the outcome of which is presented in this paper.
