Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of N-way sensitivity analysis, a modified version of traditional sensitivity analysis that was created for the purpose of verifying the stability of decisions made by a completely subjective decision-analytic tree. The tech nique was developed during research that addressed whether nurses make clinical decisions that coincide with those recommended by a decision-analytic model. Since all parameters of the model were derived from subjective assessment, traditional one-way or two-way sensitivity analysis was deemed inappropriate. Consequently, N-way sensitivity analysis was developed and used for the verification of the decision model's results. Key words : sensitivity analysis; stability; decision trees.
