BCIG Bookclub: “How Doctors Think”
- view the seminar archive
Clinical
Center (Building 10) Medical Board Room (Room 2C116)
THE PROGRAM: The volunteers listed above will
review the book. A maximum of five minutes per section
will be strictly adhered to. Then Jim DeLeo and Carl
Leonard (NIH CC) will facilitate an open group dialogue
about the book. In the book, Dr. Groopman states
”Experts studying misguided care have recently concluded
that the majority of
errors are due to flaws in physician
thinking, not technical mistakes.” We will take up the
question “WHAT ROLE CAN MODERN COMPUTING PLAY IN
ALLEVIATING ALL MEDICAL ERRORS” as part of our dialogue.
