A number of investigators have suggested steps in conducting decision analysis (Soto 2002; Philips et al. 2004; Weinstein et al. 2003). Soto (2002), working in the context of clinical decision analysis, recommends that all analyses should take the following 13 steps: 1. Clearly state the aim and the hypothesis of the model. 2. Provide the rationale of the modeling. 3. Describe the design and structure of the model. 4. Expound the analytical time horizon chosen. 5. Specify the perspective chosen and the target decision makers.
Consider, for example, a contract between a health maintenance organization (HMO) and a clinician. The contract will have many components. The parties will need to make decisions on cost, benefits, professional independence, required practice patterns, and other such issues. The HMO representatives and the clinician have different values and preferred outcomes. An analyst can identify the issues and highlight the values and preferences of the parties. The conflict can then be understood, and steps can be taken to avoid escalation of conflict to a level that disrupts the negotiations.
A clear documentation, one that uses multimedia to convey the issues, would also help create a consensus behind a decision.
