Medical decision-making and collaborative reasoning
Résumé
An overview is presented of different constraints in conventional medical decision-making for improving collaborative reasoning. When designing and implementing an effective assisted diagnoses system it is imperative to make a complete study of reasoning processes used by physicians every day. We are particularly interested in studying the process of conventional decision-making when, at the first stage, a physician faces a diagnosis decision and, later, when this decision is made by several physicians, that is, when collaborative medical reasoning is involved. The design of an architecture that supports the requirements of medical practices in this framework is presented.
