Decision making is a key activity, perhaps the most important
activity, in the practice of healthcare. Although physicians
acquire a great deal of knowledge and specialised skills during
their training and through their practice, it is in the exercise of
clinical judgement and its application to individual patients that
the outstanding physician is distinguished. This has become even
more relevant as patients become increasingly welcomed as partners
in a shared decision making process. This book translates the
research and theory from the science of decision making into
clinically useful tools and principles that can be applied by
clinicians in the field. It considers issues of patient goals,
uncertainty, judgement, choice, development of new information, and
family and social concerns in healthcare. It helps to demystify
decision theory by emphasizing concepts and clinical cases over
mathematics and computation.
