Evaluators must develop methods to characterize the use of the rapidly proliferating electronic networks that link patients with health services. In this article the 4-S framework is proposed for characterizing the use of health services delivered via computer networks. The utility of the 4-S framework is illustrated using data derived from a completed, randomized field experiment in which 47 caregivers of persons who had Alzheimer's disease accessed ComputerLink, a special [...]

Conceptual models for diagnostic reasoning proposed in the medical literature are presented to stimulate discussion about the issue of the appropriateness of probabilistic knowledge-based systems for medical diagnosis. Evidence is presented to corroborate the authors' view that diagnosis is a problem-solving task, rather than a decision-making task. In the authors' opinion, probabilistic reasoning is better suited to situations dealing with choices for clinical intervention, rather than to those dealing with [...]

With the advent of hospital payment by diagnosis-related group (DRG), length of stay (LOS) has become a major issue in hospital efforts to control costs. Because the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center (CPMC) has had above-average LOSs for many DRGs, the authors tested the hypothesis that a computer-generated informational message directed to physicians would shorten LOS.

This paper describes an approach that provides Internet-based support for a genome center to map human chromosome 12, as a collaboration between laboratories at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, and the Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. Informatics is well established as an important enabling technology within the genome mapping community. The goal of this paper is to use the chromosome 12 [...]
