A glossary of medical decision-making terms

G R Bergus et al. Prim Care. 1995 Jun.

Abstract

Many of the terms used in medical decision making are foreign to clinicians. This problem creates a barrier that can prevent physicians from acquiring these new clinical tools. This glossary contains definitions of the most common terms as well as examples of their usage by using Down syndrome as the illustrative condition.
