Enhancing and supporting deliberations within multidisciplinary decision teams

一个群体的知识和推理过程很少被系统地进行或记录；对于多学科团队做出的医疗决策来说，这是一个特别紧迫的问题。该项目将首次将知识管理原则与群体推理过程模型相结合，以创造一个在线环境，以提高群体决策及其文件的质量。在线环境将帮助医疗队使用记录和非记录的知识，当出现一种以上的医疗状况并且没有适用的正式指南时。该项目促进了群体知识理论的发展，并可扩展到对复杂问题的任何审议。

A group’s knowledge and reasoning processes are rarely conducted or recorded systematically; a problem particularly pressing for medical decisions made by multidisciplinary teams. This project will perform the first integration of knowledge management principles with group reasoning process models to create an online environment for enhancing the quality of group decisions and their documentation. The online environment will help medical teams use documented and non-documented knowledge when more than one medical condition is present and no formal guidelines are applicable. The project advances theories of knowledge in groups and is extendable to any deliberations on complex problems.
