<br/><br/> "In this book, David Seedhouse advocates values-based decision-making as a much-needed means of restoring humane balance to social planning and explains the innovative use of information technology to turn values into evidence." "Values-Based Decision-Making mostly uses examples drawn from the health field. Like David Seedhouse's many other books, it will be of considerable interest to all health professionals. But values-based decision-making reaches into every arena of human problem solving, and should therefore be read by everyone who makes plans on behalf of other people."--BOOK JACKET.
