Parallel analog scales

You could use a set of analog sliders to indicate your rank order of preference, along with the strength of preference. 

This would allow for some choices to be equal or near equivalents, and for some to be way down the OMDB list. 

Example: You notice that Matilda, 84 yo, 48kg, has mistakenly received two doses of IV gentamicin this morning. Her serum creatinine is 125. Plot the following choices for effectiveness:

a) Send her to the peritoneal dialysis unit

b) Start forced fluid diuresis with IV fluids and furosemide

c) Push oral fluids and monitor urine output

d) Apologize to her, making sure to talk into her good ear

e) Call a team meeting to ensure that this is not repeated as a system error

Research is needed on how to relatively score these preferences, possibly based on the weighting used in SCT. Also the granularity of the sliding scale will make a difference. Note that in OpenLabyrinth, the step value of the slider does not have to equate to selected zones of equivalence. This can be individually tuned per question within the QUestion slider definition.
