Models, Theoretical

Medical Definition: Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of systems, processes, or phenomena. They include the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment.
Guide Notes: no qualif; TN 128: definition & relation to its specifics; physiol models are indexed under MODELS, BIOLOGICAL; models of social behavior are indexed under MODELS, PSYCHOLOGICAL
Also Called: Mathematical Model,Experimental Model,Theoretical Study
Models, Theoretical Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Fuzzy Logic - Approximate, quantitative reasoning that is concerned with the linguistic ambiguity which exists in natural or synthetic language. At its core are variables such as good, bad, and young as well as modifiers such as more, less, and very. These ordinary terms represent fuzzy sets in a particular problem. Fuzzy logic plays a key role in many medical expert systems.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Models, Biological - Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of biological processes or diseases. For disease models in living animals, DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL is available. Biological models include the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Models, Chemical - Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of chemical processes or phenomena; includes the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Models, Educational - Theoretical models which propose methods of learning or teaching as a basis or adjunct to changes in attitude or behavior. These educational interventions are usually applied in the fields of health and patient education but are not restricted to patient care.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Models, Molecular - Models used experimentally or theoretically to study molecular shape, electronic properties, or interactions; includes analogous molecules, computer-generated graphics, and mechanical structures.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Models, Nursing - Theoretical models simulating behavior or activities in nursing, including nursing care, management and economics, theory, assessment, research, and education. Some examples of these models include Orem Self-Care Model, Roy Adaptation Model, and Rogers Life Process Model.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Models, Organizational - Theoretical representations and constructs that describe or explain the structure and hierarchy of relationships and interactions within or between formal organizational entities or informal social groups.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Models, Psychological - Theoretical representations that simulate psychological processes and/or social processes. These include the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment.
