Objectives: Inspired by real-world examples from the forensic medical sciences domain, we seek to determine whether a decision about an interventional action could be subject to amendments on the basis of some incomplete information within the model, and whether it would be worthwhile for the decision maker to seek further information prior to suggesting a decision.

Combining data and meta-analysis to build Bayesian networks for clinical decision support
Yet, Barbaros; Rasmussen, Todd E.; Tai, Nigel R. M.; Marsh, D. William R. (2014-12-01)
Complex clinical decisions require the decision maker to evaluate multiple factors that may interact with each other. Many clinical studies, however, report 'univariate' relations between a single factor and outcome. Such univariate statistics are often insufficient to provide useful support for complex clinical decisions even when they are pooled using meta-analysis. More useful decision support could be provided by evidence-based models that take the interaction between factors into account. In this paper...
Process based information systems evaluation: Towards the attributes of "pRISE"
Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Bilgen, Semih (2007-10-31)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of undertaking a systemic view of information systems evaluation that augments the frequently reported prescriptive (cost/benefit) analysis approaches. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a qualitative case perspective and derives a framework for substantive information systems evaluation factors (PRISE). Three empirical formulations are considered and a comparison made to determine the content and context of the findings. Finding...
PB-ISAM : a process-based framework for information systems effectiveness assessment in organizational contexts
Özkan, Sevgi; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2006)
A number of approaches of assessment associated with IS effectiveness have been examined, fundamental guidelines for research in this area have been derived, and a novel model of IS effectiveness has been proposed. A process based assessment method (PB-ISAM) based on the proposed effectiveness model has been elaborated. The new model and the new assessment method have been evaluated via three case studies. Specific implications have been drawn concerning the relationships between processes and the informati...
USING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FOR ADAPTIVE DECISION MAKING IN AGENT-BASED SIMULATION
Topcu, Okan (2017-12-06)
In an agent-based simulation, a plausible decision in a specific context cannot stay be valid in the face of the changing situation. Therefore, the result of the decision making process is mostly related to the agent's situational awareness and its adaptation to the new context and situation of the environment. A sound estimation of the situation requires a clean understanding of the operational domain, not only the data taken from sensors. In this paper, it is aimed to improve decision making by increasing...
The association between organizational culture and individual factors on medical practice
Saraç, Çakıl; Lajunen, Timo; Department of Psychology (2007)
The aim of the present research was to investigate the relationships between patient safety culture within hospitals and individual factors on medical practice among physicians. A total of 240 physicians from ten different hospitals completed the Medical Practice Questionnaire, Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised- Abbreviated Form. In order to assess frequency and types of medical errors, Medical Practice Questionnaire was develo...
