Although evidence-based decision-making in dentistry is quickly evolving, large gaps remain in our clinical knowledge base regarding every day decisions and procedures. Especially in the absence of strong evidence, as is the case with mucogingival conditions, risk assessment and identification are important components of the clinical decision-making process. Utilization of clinical decision sup...

After the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, we will sooner or later encounter trauma patients with COVID-19 in thedeveloping countries. It is a challenging decision-making process for an orthopedic surgeon to provide the patients withthe best practice in the crisis. Here we discuss the issue in terms of clinical severity of COVID-19 pneumonia, priorityof orthopedic surgical trauma ...

The clinical decision analysis (CDA) has used to overcome complexity and uncertainty in medical problems. The CDA is a tool allowing decision-makers to apply evidence-based medicine to make objective clinical decisions when faced with complex situations. The usefulness and limitation including six steps in conducting CDA were reviewed. The application of CDA results should be done under shared ...

Introduction A Clinical Pathway (CP) is a multidisciplinary plan of care based on best clinical practice for a specified group of patients with a particular diagnosis. A CP is designed to minimize delays, optimize resource utilization, and maximize quality of care. CPs support the implementation of Casemix by reducing variations of care, increasing homogeneity of cases, improving quality of Cas...

Introduction: It has been found that the decision-making process in medicine is affected, to a large extent, by one’s experience, individual mentality, previous models, and common habitual approaches, in addition to scientific principles. Evidence-based medicine is an approach attempting to reinforce scientific, systematic and critical thinking in physicians and provide the ground for optimal d...

Introduction: Clinical reasoning is a vital aspect of physiciancompetence. It has been the subject of academic research fordecades, and various models of clinical reasoning have beenproposed. The aim of the present study was to develop a theoreticalmodel of clinical reasoning.Methods: To conduct our study, we applied the process of theorysynthesis in accordan...

Clinical decision support (CDS) systems show promise for enhancing patient safety, but they require rigorous evaluation before they can be implemented widely. We developed a software application for use with personal digital assistants (PDAs) that models patient-specific dose responses to help physicians predict steady-state warfarin dosing requirements and steer patients to a therapeutic level...

In an effort to reduce the risk of sensitive data exposure in untrusted networks such as the public cloud, increasing attention has recently been given to encryption schemes that allow specific computations to occur on encrypted data, without the need for decryption. This relies on the fact that some encryption algorithms display the property of homomorphism, which allows them to manipulate dat...
