title: Application of SOJA and InforMatrix in practice: interactive web and workshop tools.
abstract: System of Objectified Judgement Analysis (SOJA) and InforMatrix are decision-matrix techniques designed to support a rational selection of drugs. Both SOJA and InforMatrix can be considered as strategic tools in the practical implementation of rational pharmacotherapy. In order to apply the matrix techniques to drug selection, strategic navigation through essential information (with the aim of reaching consensus in pharmacotherapy) is required. The consensus has to be reached in an interactive, communicative, collegial manner, within a professional environment. This environment is realised in the form of interactive applications in workshops and on the internet. Such interactive applications are illustrated and discussed in this article.
