Multi-Criteria Evaluation of Mobile Triage Decision Systems

چکیده
Mobile Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) aim to assist medical practitioners with decision making and provide an easy access to information on the move using mobile devices such as a mobile phone. Despite many benefits of mobile CDSS, these systems need to undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine the correctness of the actions that decision maker take and validate the system's knowledge and recommendation. In this paper, we discuss the impact of mobile CDSS on decision making process and outcomes, and describe the multi-criteria evaluation of a mobile field triage decision support system in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction and use. In this research, data was collected from a group of qualified paramedics using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The results and findings shed new light on the role of mobile decision support systems in improving healthcare delivery and provided better understanding of the barriers to the adoption of these systems and the impact of different stakeholders’ views in evaluating the success of the DSS.

Evaluation of recommender systems: A multi-criteria decision making approach
The evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. This difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. As such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

It is impractical to implement conservation efforts for all species due to complexity of natural systems, large scale of biodiversity issues, and budget limitations. Prioritizing species of conservation importance can alleviate this issue. Multiple interrelated criteria may be used for conservation prioritization of species. Therefore, the accurate evaluation of criteria is a multi-criteria dec...

Decision-making in emergency response situations can be supported by location-based information. However, current location-based services do not usually provide mechanisms to deal with conflicting information. To address this limitation, multi-criteria evaluation methods recently have been implemented in mobile geographic information systems. This paper describes an emergency response scenario ...

Investment appraisal in advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) has been receiving considerable attention over the past three decades. As stated in numerous studies, traditional engineering economic methods cannot adequately justify investments in AMTs. Thus, beside these methods, some other solutions have been proposed in this field. The methods applied in the evaluation of AMTs can be clas...
