Expected Utility Theory in Medical Decision Making
... The topic of the paper is on expected utility theory and deviations from it in medical decisionmaking. Expected utility theory is useful in medical decisions and gives patients and physicians the tools to make optimal decisions regarding tests and treatments when risk is involved. However, deviance ...
