摘要

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 metatheoretical problems of clinical practice will be studied. The present paper reconstructs clinical decision-making as a computable process of action planning.
