- Summary:
- "Early assessments of medical errors frequently focused on deficiencies in procedures and systems, yet research shows that 75% of those errors are individual and cognitive. And although typical medical training calls for the learning, storing, and recalling of large amounts of information, few medical professionals receive instruction on how to recognize, anticipate, and avoid innate mechanisms that can easily lead to cognitive error.Thinking Again: Reducing Cognitive Errors in Psychiatric Practice offers insight and direction into reducing the cognitive errors routinely made by mental health and other medical providers. Beyond professional satisfaction, the author argues that making this effort can lead to improved assessment, formulation, treatment planning, and patient outcomes." -- Provided by publisher.
