“…Within healthcare the ability to make reliable judgements is indeed an essential and critical skill. In health fields as diverse as anesthesiology (Schubert et al , 1999), oral medical examination (Kearney et al , 2002), nursing home assessment (Mov et al , 2003), aphasiology (Hula et al , 2003), ophthalmology (Margo, 2003), gait (Maynard et al , 2003), primary care (Thom et al , 2004), stroke (Hand et al , 2006), medical reviews (Hofer et al , 2000) and depression assessment (Persons and Bertagnolli, 1999) health professionals all face a similar challenge: ensuring judgement consistency, individually and collectively. Safety and quality are founded upon health professionals' ability to make judgements, assessments and interpretations.…”
