Assessments of health care technology will lead to improvements in patient services only if this information is actually used by clinicians. Traditional methods of planning treatment that rely solely on memory limit the clinician's access to and use of the full available body of knowledge in the field. An alternative approach using a computer-assisted methodology is presented as a way to overcome traditional limitations and promote the development and diffusion of knowledge.
只有当临床医生实际使用这些信息时，对医疗技术的评估才会带来患者服务的改善。仅依靠记忆的传统治疗规划方法限制了临床医生获取和使用该领域全部现有知识的能力。本文提出了一种使用计算机辅助方法的替代方法，作为克服传统局限性并促进知识发展与传播的途径。
