Summary
Errors in clinical reasoning occur in most cases in which the diagnosis is missed, delayed or wrong. The goal of this review from Graber et al., published in BMJ Quality & Safety was to identify interventions that might reduce the likelihood of these cognitive errors.
The authors identified a wide range of possible approaches to reduce cognitive errors in diagnosis. Not all the suggestions have been tested, and of those that have, the evaluations typically involved trainees in artificial settings, making it difficult to extrapolate the results to actual practice. Future progress in this area will require methodological refinements in outcome evaluation and rigorously evaluating interventions already suggested, many of which are well conceptualised and widely endorsed.
