Overview
The process of extracting knowledge from practice guidelines and incorporating it into computer programs has been arduous. In an effort to streamline this process, we are developing systems to help translate guideline knowledge into components that computers can "understand" and manipulate. GEM Cutter is a tool that has been developed to facilitate the transformation of guideline information into GEM format.
