Unfortunately, in this new age of disruptive technology and on-premise decision making, this point of view can be reckless to the point of damaging.
The case study demonstrates capabilities as well as boundaries of computer-aided decision making under the premise of incomplete information.
This study is based on the premise that qualitative data are important in health care decision making.
The premise for this approach is based on our understanding of behavioural economics [ 5] which has characterised decision making processes and the biases which may impact on rational decision leading to "reasoning failure" [ 6].
It takes as its premise that we make better decisions if we use the whole toolkit of economics and related fields to inform our decision making.
Moving on from these premises, hospital clinicians and decision makers, as well as regional and national institutions could therefore adopt tools that are useful to assess the technologies-related evidence, for a better decision making process [4].
The decision to submit a sample to a laboratory from a particular premises is also a critical decision, made by the herd veterinarian, that could affect this study.
It is possible that the deliberative constellation is such that a decision made based on the evaluation of the premises will produce the opposite result than a decision based on the evaluation of the outcomes directly.
