چکیده
Decision support systems (DSS) technology is undergoing rapid innovation and evolution. DSS software facilities continue to become more comprehensive and may soon include a broad range of communications support features. We are also beginning to see that expert systems technology will enhance traditional DSS capabilities. The focus on hardware for DSS has shifted from the minicomputer and mainframe to the personal computer. Methods of physically integrating these devices are beginning to be applied, but logical integration has not yet begun. Key to logical integration is an overall software architecture designed to "glue" together diverse application packages at the data and interface levels. From discussions of these trends are drawn several implications for software vendors and for users of DSS technology. *I wish to thank David De Long for his valued help on an earlier draft of this paper. Funding for this research was provided by Citibank.

متن کاملClinical reasoning assessment through medical expertise theories: past, present and future directions
Exploration into the concept of "medical expert" dates back to more than 50 years ago, yet yielding three leading theories in the area of clinical reasoning, namely, knowledge structure, hypothetic-deductive, and dual process. Each theory defines “medical expert” in a dissimilar way. Therefore, the methods of assessment through which the experts are identified have been changed during the tim...

With their article, Grutters et al raise an important question: What do successful health technology assessments (HTAs) look like, and what is their real-world utility in decision-making? While many HTAs are published in peer-reviewed journals, many are considered proprietary and their attributes remain confidential, limiting researchers’ ability to answer these questio...
متن کاملDecentralisation, Decision Space and Directions for Future Research; Comment on “Decentralisation of Health Services in Fiji: A Decision Space Analysis”
Decentralisation continues to re-appear in health system reform across the world. Evaluation of these reforms reveals how research on decentralisation continues to evolve. In this paper, we examine the theoretical foundations and empirical references which underpin current approaches to studying decentralisation in health systems.
