Module 5 Blog

This module's readings were interesting. I was able to take a look at my own clinical decision making and of others within my practice. I so use heuristic thinking at times in decision making, but that is part of my past learning. Through the readings have found that that is not all that bad, if I use evidenced based studies to back up or enhance my thinking.

The more I learn about decision making in the clinical setting the more systematic I am about clinical decisions. As in the video or podcast the gentleman pointed out the importance of the scientific equations for predictions and how they were more accurate than the human mind with recollection of experience.

Good points Cindy, systematic scientific think is important; that is one of the reasons why decision support systems are important to incoporate in practice because they help facilitate this process.
