Neutrosophic Perspectives in Healthcare Decision Making: Navigating Complexity with Ethics, Information, and Collaboration

Abstract

Decision-making in healthcare is a multifaceted process that involves multiple actors and factors. It is a crucial 
process that directly influences the quality of care provided to patients. To make appropriate clinical decisions, it is essential 
to have accurate clinical information, including medical histories and test results, in addition to considering ethical principles. 
Interdisciplinary consultation, proper documentation, and institutional policies play a vital role in ethical and clinical decision
making, especially in complex situations. Research utilizes methods such as COPRAS and neutrosophic correlation coefficients 
to guide decision-making in complex situations, but it is emphasized that results may vary depending on the method used and 
the subjectivity of experts. The results highlight the importance of ethical principles in clinical decision-making, including 
doing good, avoiding harm, treating all patients fairly, and respecting patient autonomy. The combination of clinical infor
mation, ethical principles, and active participation of patients and their families is essential for making informed and ethical 
decisions that promote the health and well-being of patients.
