This article explores the application of normative decision theory (NDT) to the challenge of facilitating and measuring patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction is the appraisal, by an individual, of the extent to which the care provided has met that individual's expectations and preferences. Classic decision analysis provides a graphic and computational strategy to link patient preferences for outcomes to the treatment choices likely to produce the outcomes. Multiple criteria models enable [...]

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 [...]
