Zusammenfassung:By combining methods of technology assessment with principles of decision analysis, one can obtain a decision-focused technology assessment process. The key feature of the process is an iterative cycle consisting of deterministic, probabilistic, and informational analyses. Application of the process produces a quantitative decision model and encourages a systematic, rigorous study of key issues.
