A Quantitative Approach to Medical Decision Making
The purpose of this study is to develop a technique by which a physician may use a predetermined data base to derive a preliminary diagnosis for a patient with a given set of symptoms. The technique will not yield an absolute diagnosis, but rather will point the way to a set of most likely diseases upon which the physician may concentrate his efforts. There will be no reliance upon a data base compiled from poorly kept medical records with non-standardization of terminology. While this study produces a workable tool for the physician to use in the process of medical diagnosis, the ultimate responsibility for the patient's welfare must still rest with the physician.
