{"product_id":"9780387949017","title":"Knowledge Engineering in Health Informatics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"information explosion\" in recent decades has made it impossible for practicing physicians (even specialists) to keep up with all the information potentially at their disposal. As a result, it is not surprising that empirical studies have shown that physicians do not always make optimal decisions. Thus, medical expert systems are now available to support - not replace - physicians and healthcare providers in their goal of providing the best possible healthcare to every patient. Knowledge Engineering in Health Informatics is a guide to the creation of such systems. Presenting the core material for courses such as Medical Knowledge Engineering and Expert System Development, it allows non-experts to make diagnostic decisions with the precision and accuracy of medical experts thanks to the help of the computer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024934027504,"sku":"9780387949017","price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780387949017_p0.jpg?v=1763695926","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780387949017","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
