Intuitive decision-making is used more often. It is fast, compelling, requires minimal cognitive effort, addictive, and mainly serves us well. It can also be catastrophic in that it leads to diagnostic anchoring that is not based on true underlying factors.<\/p>\n<p>He says we should explicitly teach decision making skills in medical training. \u00a0I&#8217;ll add: if we all recognize the difficulty of perfect decisions, we can work together to improve the odds &#8211; with more participation, less blaming, and overall better outcomes. And, I hope, less unwarranted stress for clinicians who are doing the best they can.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s post on Paul Levy&#8217;s blog led me back to this November post, where he posted this 35 minute lecture.
