AB  - WizOrder, Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) clinician order entry 
      system, is an excellent platform for delivering high-quality decision support to 
      clinical end-users. A scripting language designed to make it easy for 
      non-programmer domain experts to enter rules helps distribute the generation and 
      maintenance of the knowledge-base necessary to drive effective decision support. 
      Domain-experts have used this system to successfully implement relatively simple 
      protocols. The VUMC Care Improvement Committee identified diagnosis of and 
      treatment for suspected or confirmed deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism 
      as an area where decision-support could improve clinician compliance with 
      established evidence-based protocols. The authors describe our experience with 
      using our existing scripting system to implement decision support for a complex 
      medical protocol.
