Diagnostic Reasoning Videos
To Strengthen your Clinical Decision Making
Diagnostic reasoning is HARD - but that is what being a nurse practitioner is all about! I dive into Bayesian Reasoning, and System 1 and System 2 thinking, and how to apply these concepts in clinical practice.
Learn how to incorporate diagnostic frameworks for any clinical presentation that comes your way - you don't have to wing it!
Understanding test sensitivity and specificity is essential to accurately diagnose our patients and guide appropriate clinical decisions - let's dive into these test concepts, and how to apply them to clinical scenarios.
Likelihood ratios can be confusing, but they don't have to be! I break down when LRs are useful, and how they affect probability of disease.
Pre-test probability is an integral concept in medicine. It influences diagnostic decision-making, helping us determine whether we have reached testing thresholds, or treatment thresholds. I explain how to apply it in clinical practice.
We learn the “most likely” “less likely” and “must-not-miss” approach to work through, summarize, and document clinical cases. Learn this approach to ensure you are NOT missing any must-not-miss or RED FLAG diagnoses!
