(University of Massachusetts at Amherst) Diagnostic errors are very common in medicine and often come from failures of 'clinical reasoning,' some of which may be related to a medical professional's emotions, says social psychologist Linda Isbell at UMass Amherst. She has received a five-year, $1.71 million grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to study the influence of emotions on medical decision-making and diagnosis among emergency medicine staff.
