This paper discusses some research in computer-aided! clinical decision-making. Experience with formal (decision theory) models is discussed and the limitations of these models are noted.

It is argued that new approaches are needed to solve complex clinical problems, and one such approach is discussed.

Die vorliegende Arbeit berichtet über einige Forschungsergebnisse auf dem Gebiet der computerunterstützten klinischen Entscheidungsfindung. Es werden Erfahrungen mit formalen Modellen der Entsdieidungstheorie mitgeteilt und die Grenzen solcher Modelle angegeben.

Nach Ansicht des Autors sind zur Lösung komplexer klinischer Probleme neue Ansätze erforderlich; ein solcher Ansatz wird diskutiert
