Do you work in healthcare? Do you make decisions? What would you say if you knew a high percentage of those decisions might make your patient worse instead of better? Healthcare practitioners are highly susceptible to biases and heuristics, creating a high risk of errors in decision-making. In fact, healthcare workers may make errors in up to 77% of the decisions they make. This webinar will improve clinicians’ ability to examine their own decision-making processes and adopt research-based strategies to improve those processes. At the end of the presentation, these strategies will be examined in a real case study so you can have practical takeaways for your patients.
