Clinical problem solving: a behavioral analysis.

J P Kassirer, G A Gorry

    Annals of Internal Medicine
    |August 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Experienced clinicians rapidly generate diagnostic hypotheses from initial patient complaints. They employ case-building strategies to test these hypotheses, gathering valid data for effective clinical problem-solving.
