Abstract
When physician faced to a case, they often need to refer the past experience and related literature. But it is inconvenient to check these huge Internet information and got similar cases from HIS .If physician can be allowed easily and quickly to see the previous similar cases`s diagnosis and treatment course, they will be able to have more confidence in the treatment and reduce the chance of mistakes. In the point of view of evidence-based medicine, also if we can find the evidence related to the cases is helpful for the physician. e design a system which can find the same or similar cases from database for reference about clinical course and treatment .Also it can display the related literature and be sorted by the relevant to particular cases. These results can help physician to make decision. In addition, because the performance is limited, we also implement a proxy-based cache mechanism to improve user`s response time. We also compare the precision/recall of our system analysis result with the expert`s answer to evaluate the accuracy.
