Abstract Expert system applications in the clinical domain have not been very popular for lack of an adequate integration with other applications used in clinical environments. In the last few years, there is a growing trend towards the introduction of knowledge based systems as systems embedded in conventional applications. In this paper we propose an integration strategy of an expert system in oncology therapy with a clinical history data base and a user interface adapted to the needs of the medical environment. Our objective has been to design a system that is easy to use and provides all functions needed by the medical staff. The final system has consisted in first integrating three development tools and then using them in order to construct the complete application. The result is a global tool for the development of clinical information systems with embedded intelligent modules.
