Medical modeling and decision making

Published: 01 January 1974 Publication History

Abstract

The fundamental approach of the Rutgers Group has been to develop methods of describing diseases and patients in terms of a data base of current medical knowledge from which the requisite information can be retrieved for many different decision-making tasks. Various types of models have been used to represent and summarize medical information. Strategies of utilization for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, explanation and teaching have been designed to be independent of specific medical contexts. A causal-associational network has been developed together with an associated model of therapies to serve as the basis of a consultation program in glaucoma.
