Improving the management of midnight data to enhance evidence-based decision making

The Use of Evidence by Decision-Making Committees

The Feasibility of Evidence- based Decision Making in a Toxicology Emergency Case

Evidence- Based Medicine (EBM) aims to bring the best available evidence into clinical practice.  Different clinical methods of education such as in-patient rounds, follow up rounds, out-patients rounds, group sessions, grand rounds, lectures, and journal clubs could be held by EBM approach. The current text presents two interrelated case reports; a case report of EBM decision making in an emer...

Improving decision-making performance through argumentation: An argument-based decision support system to compute with evidence

a r t i c l e i n f o While research has shown that argument based systems (ABSs) can be used to improve aspects of individual thinking and learning, relatively few studies have shown that ABSs improve decision performance in real world tasks. In this article, we strive to improve the value-proposition of ABSs for decision makers by showing that individuals can, with minimal training, use a nov...

Algorithms for data warehouse design to enhance decision-making

On-line analytical processing (OLAP) queries are strongly affected by the amount data needed to be accessed from the disk. Therefore, there is a need to employ techniques that can facilitate efficient execution of these queries. There has been a lot of work to optimize the performance of relational data warehouses. Among the two fragmentation techniques, vertical fragmentation is often consider...

House of Improvement Model to Enhance Prioritisation of Solutions in Decision Making: a Case Study

The decision making on selection of improvement solutions was one of the obstacles hampering the success of process improvement. This paper presents the House of Improvement (HOI) model as a guideline to link decision criteria for the prioritisation of improvement solutions. Three phases in the HOI are applied to facilitate selection and to ensure that suitable and value-added solutions are cho...
