How did the readings influence your perception of your own clinical decision-making?
The reading in this module made me examine how I make clinical decisions. I have worked in the resource pool for the past few years and so there are often times when I am in unfamiliar territory. I always share my "hunches" about patients with a colleague since I might not be so familiar with what is "normal". Part of the good thing about being a seasoned nurse is having lots of experience under your belt. I would never wholly rely on experience though as there are too many individual factors which play a part in patient care.
I was unaware of clinical decision support systems prior to this module. I learned a lot of interesting information from choosing a CDSS to critique. The more evidence based they are the more useful they can be. Especially when it comes to point of care practice!
