Cl. Chan et Cc. Chang, A METHOD COMBINING MAU AND FUZZY-LOGIC FOR COOPERATIVE DECISION-MAKING, Computers & industrial engineering, 35(1-2), 1998, pp. 291-294
A new method for ''cooperative decision making'' between physicians an
d patients during medical decision process is created. MAU (Multi-Attr
ibute Utility) Model and Fuzzy logic for medical decision making is co
mbined. Patients and physicians can negotiate with each other and come
out with acceptable solution for medical treatment decision. Both of
patient and physician would tradeoff their values to reach consensus i
n choosing medical treatment alternatives. This method can also be gen
eralized to those decision processes involving an expert and a novice.
The combined decision model would improve the quality of cooperative
decision making. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
