Abstract EN
In this paper, a utility-based multicriteria model is proposed to support the physicians to deal with an important medical decision—the screening decision problem—given the squeeze put on resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the COVID-19 emerged, the number of patients with an acute respiratory failure has increased in the health units.
This chaotic situation has led to a deficiency in health resources.
Thus, this study, using the concepts of the multiattribute utility theory (MAUT), puts forward a mathematical model to aid physicians in the screening decision problem.
The model is used to generate which of the three alternatives is the best one for where patients with suspected COVID-19 should be treated, namely, an intensive care unit (ICU), a hospital ward, or at home in isolation.
Also, a decision information system, called SIDTriagem, is constructed and illustrated to operate the mathematical model proposed.
