Fundamentals of clinical methodology: 1. Differential indication.
Progress in the theory and practice of artificial intelligence in medicine requires awareness of basic issues in medical problem solving. To stimulate discussion and research on this subject, in a series of articles some logical, methodological and meta-theoretical problems of clinical practice will be studied. The present paper reconstructs clinical decision-making as a computable process of action planning.
