WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Health & Fitness:Medicine
Date: February 8, 2018
Featuring:
We don’t like to think of the diagnosis process as causing as many problems as it’s trying to solve. But when the complaints are more chronic than acute, there’s growing concern that a plethora of diagnostic tests and procedures have raised expectations of always finding a precise answer or explanation. When that's not possible, or tests aren't recommended as the first line of attack, a provider's clinical observations and reasoning can seem less than satisfactory.
It’s this complexity of diagnosis and the difficulty of sometimes having to admit "there's no way to know for sure" that we explored on the February 8 WIHI: Practicing More Careful and Thoughtful Diagnosis. Our guests shared new thinking about better ways to engage with patients when diagnostic certainty isn't possible and how to create strong, trusting relationships that break from the mold of “doing something” or “doing nothing at all.”
