Descriptive Analysis for Computer-Based Decision Support

Features of Computer-based Clinical Decision Support

The purpose of this chapter is to dig deeper into the nature of computer-based clinical decision support, in terms of the ways in which it is or potentially could be used, its design, and its interaction with host environments. I believe that understanding these aspects of CDS is important as a foundation for serious efforts to increase its dissemination and adoption. As pointed out in previous...

Decision Support Systems Research 1990 to 2003: A Descriptive Analysis

This paper is the first major report of a project that is investigating the theoretic foundations of decision support systems (DSS). The project was principally motivated by a concern for the direction and relevance of DSS research. The main areas of research focus are the decision and judgement theoretic base of the discipline, the research strategies used in published articles, and the profes...

A new paradigm for computer-based decision support

We identify and address a fundamental general problem which we regard as crucial for the widespread, effective use of decision support systems (DSS) in the future: how can we substantially improve the quality of interaction, and the degree of flexible engagement, between humans and computers? Rather than seeking an answer in additional technical functionality, we propose a new paradigm for comp...

An Ontology for Computer-Based Decision Support in Rehabilitation

Although functionality and disease classifications are available thanks to initiatives such as the “international classification of functioning, disability and health”, the “systematized nomenclature of medicine clinical terms” and the “international classification of diseases”, a formal model of rehabilitation interventions has not been defined yet. This model can have a fundamental role in th...
