Abstract:
The risk of errors in the planning and delivery of health care is an inescapable feature of clinical practice for which health providers have developed sophisticated defences. However, errors still occur. This paper, the final in a four-part series on nurses' decision-making and judgement, illustrates some common pitfalls facing clinicians who have to make complex decisions and judgements, and suggests simple techniques to help combat some of the systematic errors people make when exercising judgement and making choices.
