The case for frugal default options in patient-doctor communication.
Bogdan-Lovis and Holmes-Rovner [1] make a compelling case for using frugal default options to help patients and doctors make decisions, while also reducing health care costs, in situations defined by medical equipoise (reference). Their proposal is that in medical conditions in which the available treatment options do not differ in their clinically effectiveness (e.g. result in equivalent survi...
متن کاملExpressing Default Logic Variants in Default Logic
Reiter’s default logic is one of the best known and most studied of the approaches to nonmonotonic reasoning. Several variants of default logic have subsequently been proposed to give systems with properties differing from the original. In this paper, we examine the relationship between default logic and its major variants. We accomplish this by translating a default theory under a variant inte...
متن کاملGreetings and Politeness in Doctor-Client Encounters in Southwestern Nigeria
Doctors and clients sometimes experience interactive clashes during hospital meetings in South-western Nigerian hospitals because of their divergent culture-constrained orientation to politeness cues. The goal of this paper is to unpack the discursive elements that characterize interactive confluence and divergence in selected consultative encounters in the hospitals. The findings indicate that...
متن کاملFollow-Up Visits in Doctor-Patient Communication: The Vietnamese Case
In a “follow-up visit”, a patient seeks medical attention for an existing health problem. Using data from the Vietnamese public hospital system, we present a more nuanced analysis of follow-ups in health communication than the one currently available. To be specific, we discriminate between “same follow-ups”, in which the doctor is the same one as in the last visit, and “different follow-ups”, ...
متن کاملA Default Logic Patch for Default Logic
This paper is about the fusion of multiple information sources represented using default logic. More precisely, the focus is on solving the problem that occurs when the standard-logic knowledge parts of the sources are contradictory, as default theories trivialize in this case. To overcome this problem, it is shown that replacing each formula belonging to Minimally Unsatisfiable Subformulas by ...
