Medical decision making is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on studying how healthcare professionals make decisions regarding patient care. This research area aims to understand the cognitive and behavioral processes underlying medical decision-making, identify factors influencing decision-making, and develop strategies to improve decision outcomes. Medical decision-making research encompasses various topics such as diagnostic reasoning, treatment selection, risk communication, patient preferences, and the use of decision support tools. Researchers in this area may use a combination of experimental studies, observational research, and mathematical modeling to investigate how clinicians make decisions in real-world clinical settings. Ultimately, the goal of medical decision-making research is to improve the quality and safety of healthcare by helping clinicians make more informed and evidence-based decisions for their patients. It also aims to empower patients to be more actively involved in the decision-making process and ensure that their preferences and values are considered in healthcare decisions.
