Improve patient outcomes with critical thinking skills

It’s easy to see why employers highly value critical thinking in healthcare. Healthcare delivery systems can no longer afford to be mistaken about best thinking.  Error rates are already in question, difficult problems and decisions must be addressed, and poor judgments can lead to irreparable damage and even cost lives.  Positive patient outcomes are improved when healthcare professionals bring strong critical thinking skills to their work.

Examples of the application of critical thinking in healthcare

1. 1. to accurately diagnose emergent conditions;
   2. to determine and evaluate therapeutic actions;
   3. to analyze and manage health risks;
   4. to hire and promote healthcare leaders;
   5. to design innovative clinical systems;
   6. to achieve goals of agency initiatives;
   7. to allocate resources;
   8. to anticipate and prevent errors;
   9. to use and manage information systems;
   10. to understand treatment implications;
   11. to develop data driving protocols;
   12. to anticipate the implications of actions taken;
   13. to analyze and resolve personnel issues;
   14. to explain policy & protocols; and
   15. to design and evaluate departmental reports.

This list of critical thinking in healthcare goes on almost indefinitely in high-stakes practice settings which require healthcare professionals to make critically important and time sensitive judgments.
