Dual-process cognitive interventions to enhance diagnostic reasoning: a systematic review.

Lambe KA, O'Reilly G, Kelly BD, Curristan S. BMJ Qual Saf. 2016 Feb 12; [Epub ahead of print].

This systematic review explored interventions to augment diagnostic reasoning among physicians. Cognitive forcing and guided reflection were two strategies that consistently improved cognition. This finding suggests that these methods should be more widely implemented to enhance timely and accurate diagnosis.
