In this paper, we introduce the formal representation language DiaFlux, that is simple and easy to use on the one hand. On the other hand it allows for the definition of Computer-Interpretable Guidelines (CIGs), that can solve valuable tasks being executed in the clinical context. Further, we describe a wiki-driven development process using the stepwise formalization and allowing for almost self-acquisition by the domain specialists. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by a protocol for sepsis monitoring and treatment developed by a collaboration of clinicians.
