Abstract

Clinical decision-making can vary from fast and intuitive to slow and calculating. Clinicians must navigate multiple options and accept trade-offs. By understanding how decisions are made we can mitigate risk and combat medical errors. This presentation will focus on learnings from two decades of decision making research in patient safety.
