Evaluating the effects of cognitive support on psychiatric clinical comprehension

In complex clinical environments, clinicians must cope with and manage multiple, voluminous, heterogeneous data sources to solve clinical problems [1,2]. Both comprehension and problem solving capabilities of physicians affect their efficiency, as comprehension is a prerequisite to problem solving [3]. Previous studies have suggested that the process of clinical comprehension differs between expert and novice clinicians with respect to selective filtering, pattern recognition and accuracy of inferences generated [4].
