Definition

Decision making is a critical element in the field of medicine that can lead to life-or-death outcomes, yet it is an element fraught with complex and conflicting variables, diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties, patient preferences and values, and costs. Judgments and decisions made daily in clinical work necessitate the assessment and management of risks. [Source: Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making; Health Risk Management]
