AB The increased involvement of information systems in AIDS intervention
and prevention (AIP) leads to increased demand for expert systems.
Expert systems have been used for diagnosing AIDS. However, since the
penetration of information systems into AIP is just beginning, the
literature on AIP expert systems is sparse. This paper presents an
expert system that has been developed especially to support AIP. The
system development process consists of identification phase,
conceptualization phase, formalization phase, implementation phase, and
evaluation phase. The system has shown its improvement over past
screening and AIP scheduling practices. The advantages of the system
are: (a) a larger set of data and conditions can be analyzed, (b) the
system saves AIP specialists a significant amount of time, and thus
provides the AIP program with considerable improvement in operations
efficiency, (c) the AIDS-risky behaviors screening or AIP scheduling
documents generated by the system can be very detailed, and (d) the
system also has potential educational value. The system mimics the
analytical process in which the AIP specialists administering AIDS-risky
behaviors screening and AIP scheduling.
