Abstract
The strategy of making predictions for a specific case or problem, in particular regarding scenarios with incomplete information, should follow a dynamic and formal model. This chapter presents a specific case concerning the employment of professionals for a health institution, as technicians and physicians, to demonstrate a model that requires the Quality-of-Information and the Degree-of-Confidence of the extensions of the predicates that model the universe of discourse. It is also mentioned a virtual intellect, or computational model, in order to maximize the Degree-of-Confidence that is associated with each term in the extensions of the predicates, according to the approximate representation of the universe of discourse. This model is prepared to be adopted by a Business Intelligence platform in order to increase the Quality-of-Information and the Degree-of-Confidence of the extensions in healthcare.
