In a systematic and clear manner, the authors discuss the problems associated with clinical decision making and explore the current methods to solve them. In this monograph, they examine the results of combining the classical control system approach with the symbolic approaches which have been central to developments in artificial intelligence. Well illustrated with case studies, this volume will prove to be an invaluable resource to system scientists, engineers, computer scientists, and members of the medical community.
I have been using this book for several years as one of the primary texts for the graduate students in a decision making class in the informatics program at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. It is the best single survey of decision making in healthcare that I have found. I would recommend this as a first book for those with and interest in this field. Other texts would be needed
