This study consisted of five steps: (1) Selection of a CPG; (2) extraction and categorization in GLIF3 of concepts related to depression screening and management tasks; (3) converting GLIF3 steps to a flowchart; (4) creation of scenarios representing possible execution paths; (5) guideline execution engine (GLEE) execution of scenarios. DISCUSSION: This study contributes to the body of knowledge regarding creation of CIGs and the use of GLEE as an evaluation tool for the encoded CIG in GLIF format for a depression CPG. CPG representation using GLIF3 and its evaluation by GLEE are useful methods to prepare nursing CPGs for implementation in a DSS.
