Beschreibungen

<p>Being a good clinician is not just about knowledge – how doctors and other healthcare professionals think, reason and make decisions is arguably their most critical skill. While medical schools and postgraduate training programmes teach and assess the knowledge and skills required to practice as a doctor, few offer comprehensive training in clinical reasoning or decision making. This is important because studies suggest that diagnostic error is common and results in significant harm to patients – and errors in reasoning account for the majority of diagnostic errors.</p> <p>The <i>ABC of Clinical Reasoning</i> covers core elements of the thinking and decision making associated with clinical practice – from what clinical reasoning is, what it involves and how to teach it. Informed by the latest advances in cognitive psychology, education and studies of expertise, the <i>ABC</i> covers:</p> <ul> <li>Evidence-based history and examination</li> <li>Use and interpretation of diagnostic tests</li> <li>How doctors think – models of clinical reasoning</li> <li>Cognitive and affective biases</li> <li>Metacognition and cognitive de-biasing strategies</li> <li>Patient-centred evidence based medicine</li> <li>Teaching clinical reasoning</li> </ul> <p>From an international team of authors, the <i>ABC of Clinical Reasoning</i> is essential reading for all students, medical professionals and other clinicians involved in diagnosis, in order to improve their decision-making skills and provide better patient care.</p>

<p>"Sound decision making is routinely cited as a cornerstone of clinical practice. But what techniques actually underlie this process, and why does it ? all too often ? go wrong? The answers to these questions, and more, are provided by the authors of this book, who have successfully compressed the burgeoning subject of clinical reasoning into a succinct and easily accessible textbook...</p> <p>The text attempts to cover a lot of ground for such a slim volume and occasional sections seem a little cramped. The overall effect, though, is to enthusiastically and intelligently convey the importance of a so far underappreciated yet vital aspect of clinical practice.</p> <p>Readers should not expect this text to provide a complete summary of the subject (a comprehensive bibliography is supplied). Nor should they expect a single reading to provide an instant remedy to deficiencies in their own decision making because, as the editors state, developing sound clinical reasoning is a ?lifelong? task. With that in mind, picking up this book would make an excellent start."(<b>BJGP Open, 24th February 2017<b>)</p>
