Abstract
Clinical protocols are introduced in hospitals to standardize the care delivery process. Compliance is a measure used to determine whether the protocol has been followed. However, so far an activity in the protocol could be either compliant or non-compliant. In this paper we consider the compliance of a single activity as a fuzzy term. We propose to define the rules which can assess the compliance degree of an activity. We proposed the fuzzy compliance measure of clinical protocol that aggregates those compliance degrees. We demonstrate a case of glucose management protocol at Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Initial results are promising.
