Main description:

This book defines clinical reasoning and its components in a universal, simple and practical manner for all healthcare trainees and professionals worldwide. This is accompanied by describing the application and learning of this technique for any patient in any setting, so as to improve healthcare outcomes, reduce wastage and mistakes, and accelerate the acquisition of competence.Current healthcare training, practice, systems and literature face several limitations, as evidenced in their form and the results of healthcare worldwide. Inability to diagnose patients is often accompanied by mistakes and wastage, sometimes allegations of medical malpractice. Some countries, like the USA, have wealth and technology, yet consistently have poor outcomes and significant medicolegal litigation. Healthcare training is fragmented and sometimes severely flawed, with multiple styles and approaches without any unifying, clear path for learners.This book describes a technique that took more than a decade to develop and test across a broad range of settings and patients, so as to address all of the above problems with conventional teaching and practice worldwide.
