medical knowledge, how it is obtained, and how it can be used for
decision support.
It provides complete coverage of
computational approaches to clinical decision-making. Chapters
discuss data integration into healthcare information systems and
delivery to point of care for providers, as well as facilitation of
direct to consumer access. A case study section highlights critical
lessons learned, while another portion of the work examines
biostatistical methods including data mining, predictive modeling,
and analysis.
