Abstract
The healthcare is a knowledge-based profession where ideally decisions are based on formal evidence. But the challenges faced by healthcare decision makers are to apply these generic and population level evidence to the specific situation of an individual patient. In this paper we argue for a knowledge-based approach to medical decision-making. Such an approach is grounded in general population level interventions, based on the evidence that informs and is specialized to the specific context of a particular patient.We propose task-based knowledge management (TbKM) as a theoretical construct to implement the knowledge-based approach to medical decision-making.
