Abstract :
The application of knowledge grid technology in the process of TCM diagnosis and therapy is introduced in this paper. The idea that combines knowledge grid and PACS with digital hospital system to integrate mass heterogeneous medical data is proposed. Then, a meta-model of diagnosis and treatment process of TCM in grid databases is designed. Anyway, the application of knowledge grid can eliminate the information isolation between each hospital, so as to accelerate the construction of digital TCM hospital.
