A Group Decision Support System (GDSS) j7amework to support Medical Decision Making (MDM) based on cognitive characteristics incorporating clinical reasoning and problem-solving features is presented. Ike role of cognitive processes which are inherent in MDM has influenced the development of this framework. the three key components of this framework are: "Cognitive-Aid structures", "Cognitive Appropriation" and "GDSS-support structures". Cognitive-Aid structures incorporates technology elements to support cognitive processes encountered in MDM. Gidden 's "Structuration Theory" [12] has influenced the development of the "Cognitive Appropriation" mechanism. Guiljord's "Theory of the Intellect" [16] has been used to structure parts of the GDSS processes and group outcome. A comparison of the features of the proposed GDSS framework with major GDSS research frameworks is also presented.
