If you have an opportunity to view a website that was part of our class on Informational Technology in the Decision Support for Care Delivery I would recommend this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v+dddFfRaBPgg.
Decisions that affect the health of another individual can be at times anxiety producing. There are times when questions are presented along a very familiar pathway and the decision is straightforward. But there are times when variables change, new information must be interpreted and decisions are not as straightforward.
This video gives insight into how we manage information and use either intuition or reasoning or both.
Very informative.
Good point Debra, I agree making decisions can be anxiety producing this is just one reason why having tools that facilitate the decision making process based on EBP such as CDSS are important.
