Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship of surgeon and hospital volume to outcome after gastric bypass surgery in Pennsylvania: a 3-year summary.
TL;DR: Risk-adjusted in-hospital adverse outcome is significantly lower when gastric bypass is performed by higher-volume surgeons, and the same trend was observed for deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do physicians know when their diagnoses are correct? Implications for decision support and error reduction.
Charles P. Friedman,Guido G. Gatti,Timothy M. Franz,Gwendolyn C. Murphy,Fredric M. Wolf,Paul S. Heckerling,Paul L. Fine,Thomas Miller,Arthur S. Elstein +8 more
TL;DR: This study explores the alignment between physicians’ confidence in their diagnoses and the “correctness” of these diagnoses, as a function of clinical experience, and whether subjects were prone to over- or underconfidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rescaling Ordinal Data to Interval Data in Educational Research
TL;DR: In this article, item response theory is used to rescale ordinal data to an interval scale, where the differences among values composing the scale are unequal in terms of what is being measured, permitting only a rank ordering of scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer decision support as a source of interpretation error: the case of electrocardiograms.
TL;DR: Computer decision support systems can generally improve the interpretive accuracy of internal medicine residents in reading EKGs, however, subjects were influenced significantly by incorrect advice, which tempers the overall usefulness of computer-generated advice in this and perhaps other areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are clinicians correct when they believe they are correct? Implications for medical decision support.
Charles P. Friedman,Guido G. Gatti,Arthur S. Elstein,Timothy M. Franz,Gwendolyn C. Murphy,Fredric M. Wolf +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that medical decision support systems cannot rely exclusively on clinicians' perceptions of their information needs, as such perceptions will frequently be incorrect.
