French term or phrase: piloté

I am translating a short text on electronic prescribing in a hospital context. The sentence in which “piloté” occurs is as follows: “Des ordonnances informatiques pré-établies ou pilotées, calculant les doses selon différents paramètres, permettent également de diminuer le nombre d’erreurs. “ I suspect that “pilotées” here means something like “guided” or “prompted”, but am wondering if there is not a better word.

And other references. I think an "ordonnance informatique pilotée" is the equivalent of a "computer-assisted prescription"

Along the lines of your own 'guided' — but I have no idea if this term is used in this sort of context!

Not my field - just taking Wiki's word for it.
