| Abstract: | The number and complexity of available tests and therapies is expanding and financial resources are shrinking. Clinicians must now consider how to give the best care while limiting health expenses. Decision analysis is a tool used to guide clinicians in the practice of medicine, and to supplement and enhance intuitive decision making based on clinical experience. |
