Challenge of Judgment, The

Synopsis: Looks at medical judgment and how good it is. Can it be improved by the use of decision-making systems? Discussions and expositions are set in the context of a discourse between a judgment analyst and a doctor. In particular: the quality of medical judgment is considered in the light of autopsy findings; the nature of medical judgment is approached through the idea of a cognitive continuum ranging from the intuitive to the analytical; the tools of judgment analysis are introduced in part 1 of ‘Judging Judgment’ - performance rates (sensitivity and specificity) and predicative values.
