======================
Medical Decision Making provides clinicians with a powerful framework for
helping patients make decisions that increase the likelihood that they will
have the outcomes that are most consistent with their preferences.

This new edition provides a thorough understanding of the key decision making
infrastructure of clinical practice and explains the principles of medical
decision making both for individual patients and the wider health care arena.
It shows how to make the best clinical decisions based on the available
evidence and how to use clinical guidelines and decision support systems in
electronic medical records to shape practice guidelines and policies.

Medical Decision Making is a valuable resource for all experienced and
learning clinicians who wish to fully understand and apply decision
modelling, enhance their practice and improve patient outcomes.

"There is little doubt that in the future many clinical analyses will be
based on the methods described in Medical Decision Making, and the book
provides a basis for a critical appraisal of such policies."
