The decision systems group: creating a framework for decision making.

Full Abstract

The Decision Systems Group is pursuing a vision in which every available medical resource can be brought together at the point of need. The DSG focuses on the components and tools in specific areas as well as on the models, approaches, and infrastructure that make this type of integration possible. Its academic mission is to train individuals with dual expertise: those who understand and appreciate the issues involved in developing and validating a method or technique, plus the issues of deployment, operation, and interaction in practical environments. Ultimately, the application of this vision can only serve to enhance the current level of healthcare.
