I envision a body of professionals who are able to keep up with the latest literature who would maintain a diagnostic service to which physicians can subscribe. If the courts accept following the advice of this service as a defense in medical malpractice cases, this may cut down on the number of unnecessary procedures taken to defend against medical malpractice and possibly reduce the costs of malpractice insurance. If physicians were to provide feedback on how they used this advice in specific cases and the outcomes, it could contribute to developing Evidence Based Medicine. The method is based on using knowledge in the form of cause-and-effect statements and propositional logic to find explanations for behaviors that occur within the domain of the knowledge base. I am looking for someone with whom I can discuss this who might be able to bring it to the attention of those who could see that the technique is evaluated and according to that evaluation be implemented.
