Description
Clinical reasoning lies at the core of health care practice and education. Clinical Reasoning in the Health Professions, therefore, occupies a central place in the education of health professionals, the enhancement of professional decision making of individuals and groups of practitioners with their clients, and research into optimal practice reasoning.This is a book for teachers and learners, practitioners, practice leaders, researchers and curriculum managers. Indeed, it is a valuable resource for educators seeking to ground their teaching practices in educational theory, sound knowledge of clinical reasoning and practice-based evidence, and researchers seeking to expand their research horizons.- Clinical reasoning as a composite of encultured capabilities- Clinical reasoning embedded within situated practice including the wider socio-economic and political contexts, the practitioner's and the client's contexts, and shared goals such as promoting health communities- The importance of narratives, language and culture in clinical decision making- Changing reasoning practices linked to increasing autonomy of practitioners working without the requirement of medical referrals- Clinical reasoning as an increasingly team-based practice, including shared decision making with clients- The need for sound strategies and tools to facilitate the expanding collaborations in health care across disciplines and with clients and carers- Advanced education approaches promoting expansion and enhancement of reasoning strategies- The importance of building good practices for learning clinical reasoning into curricula and into students' own practice development approaches- Strengthening links between orthodox and complementary medicine reasoning practices
