Decision making in a modern hospital: some theoretical and practical aspects

Developing HTML-based courses concerning training in Atomic and Nuclear Physics applied in modern Medical Technology

“…It consists of various functional units which contribute to the achievement of common goals, which are set for the entire structure but maintain a relative autonomy and perform unique roles. Each Hospital Unit, on the one hand, adopts similar methodological approaches [23], [24], [26], [27] to decision making but, on the other, it informs these approaches with the corresponding concrete content peculiar to its scope.…”

A development model of knowledge expertise system for air traffic services

“…CBR consists of two main tasks [11]: The first is the retrieval, which is the search for or the calculation of most similar cases. If the case base is rather small, a sequential calculation is possible, otherwise faster non-sequential indexing [12] or classification algorithms (e.g.ID3 [13] or Nearest Neighbor match [14]) should be applied. For this task much research has been undertaken in the recent years and actually it has become correspondingly easy to fmd sophisticated CBR retrieval algorithms adequate for nearly every sort of application problem.…”

The Multifarious Function of Medical Records: Ethical Issues

“…The patient's privacy must be weighted in all cases against the other interests which the records serve. Finally, medical records or their components and fragments are structured differently and they assume distinct roles or are accorded different values in the various departments within a given hospital on the basis of the relative ethical importance assigned to the medical intervention [3]. Additionally, the principle of informed consent, e.g., which is reflected in the contents of the record, is of major concern in a psychiatric or an internal medicine unit whereas it is of less importance in the in vitro diagnostic laboratory of a hospital.…”
