title = "DISPO advisor - expert system for psychiatric disposition",
abstract = "An expert system designed to assist psychiatric residents is described. This microcomputer-based decision support system helps residents find the proper disposition for patients who come to the emergency room. The system uses an inexpensive, commercially available expert-system shell, VP-EXPERT by Paperback Software, to match patients with inpatient and outpatient resources appropriate to their needs. The inference engine uses both forward and backward chaining, and interfaces with data stored in DBase III files. The system is currently in daily use by residents.",
