Abstract

In a context of Multiple Criteria Decision Aid, we present a decision model explaining some French hospitals rankings in weight loss surgery. To take into account interactions between medical indicators, we elaborated a model based on the 2-additive Choquet integral. The reference subset, defined during the elicitation process of this model, is composed by some specific alternatives called binary alternatives. To validate our approach, we showed that the proposed 2-additive Choquet integral model is able to approximate the hospitals ranking, in weight loss surgery, published by the French magazine “Le Point” in August 2013.

    French National Authority for Health (HAS) aims to improve quality and safety of healthcare. The objectives are to accredit health care organizations and health professionals, to produce guidelines for health professionals (practices, public health, patient safety), to develop disease management for chronic conditions, to advise decision makers on health technologies (drugs, devices, procedures), and to inform professionals, patients, and the public.

    The Kendall tau ranking distance between two rankings \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) is the quantity \(K(R_1,R_2)=\dfrac{|\{(i,j): i< j, (\tau _1(i)<\tau _1(j) \wedge \tau _2(i)>\tau _2(j) )\vee (\tau _1(i)>\tau _1(j) \wedge \tau _2(i)<\tau _2(j) )\}|}{n/2 (n-1)}\) where \(\tau _1(i)\) et \(\tau _2(i)\) are the ranks of the element i in the rankings \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) respectively.
