H 04 SPECIAL SESSION: Improving Clinical Decision-Making to Build Fail-Safe Systems and Enhance Patient Outcomes

Saturday, 27 July 2019: 8:00 AM-8:30 AM
Summary
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.
