S 13.Computers in patient management and quality control 147s explicit diagnostic criteria and algorithms for making a diagnosis.Structured or semi-structured diagnostic interviews attempt to operationalize the assessment process in that they propose questions for eliciting the individual signs and symptoms that enter into the definition of each criterion.Diagnoses are derived using computer programs that build upon algorithms as defined in the diagnostic systems.The current use of computers in this field as well as the potential for further developments will be illustrated, using examples from three WHO structured diagnostic interviews: the Composite International Diagnostic Interview or CIDI, the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Psychiatry or SCAN and the International Personality Disorder Examination or IPDE.
