ACPP Concepts

Basic Model

Core Concepts

Context : inclusion, exclusion, patient state, and environment etc.
Process : tasks, blackbox calculations, etc, can be repeative
Goal: Medical intention, desired state
Outcome: Expected state when a process is performed, could be a normal range to be achieved, a physical/clinical state the patient is expected to be in
inclusionCriteria : property, link context to a list of inclusion criteria, can contain Odds/weight
exclusionCriteria : property, link context to a list of exclusion criteria, can contain Odds/weight
