 In psychiatric practice,
bias in judgements (for example, diagnosis and risk assessment)
and decisions (when and how to treat) is likely to be due to
the inherent ambiguity of presenting features (think of the
Mona Lisa painting) and the uncertainty of outcome.
This module describes a number of recognised
biases in thinking, along with suggestions on how to avoid or
compensate for these tendencies.
Furthermore, ways of looking at (and learning
from) outcome are reviewed, taking into account the finding that
active observation in itself can change the presentation and
outcome.
This module offers guidance on:
- definitions of judgements,
decisions and outcome
