Description: One of the key areas of clinical decision making in the field of clinical medicine involves choosing the most appropriate treatment option for a given patient, out of many alternative treatment options. This paper introduces a model that is intuitive to clinicians for evaluating medication treatment options, and therefore has the advantage of engaging clinicians actively in a collaborative development of clinical Decision Support Systems (DSS). This paper also extends the previously introduced models of medical diagnostic reasoning, and case formulation (in psychiatry). Whilst the proposed model is already implemented as a DSS in psychiatry, it can also be applied in other branches of clinical medicine.
