TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICARE By providing an assured source of funding for new technology, Medicare has contributed to the development and dissemination of many of the new diagnostic and treatment options that have become available over the last 30 years.

please start a thread titled "Mod 3, Discussion 3B/[Your Name]." Discussion Questions 1. Why is it important for Artificial Intelligence systems to be able to prove theorems in an automated way? First of all, knowing that a problem can be solved is a big help. Running search algorithms on problems that can not be solved can waste resources. Resolution is an important part of Artificial Intelligence research and provides a common method for systems to reason logically. This provides a basis for

that a child should have both a male and female figure represented in a family to make an ideal environment. Gay couples also have a hard time involving ART and children.

Benefits of DSS Decision support systems are computer systems that assist the user in complex problem solving or decision-making. They are an integrated approach to the age-old problem of helping people make better decisions. Decision support sys-tems typically have quantitative output and place emphasis on the end user for final problem solving and decision-making. An expert system (ES) is another computer tool used for decision-making. Expert systems use qualitative rather than quantitative
