Addressing the challenge of communicating uncertainty in diagnosis

这个项目的目的是审查通信对保健机构诊断过程的关键作用和影响。在医疗保健领域，沟通中的不确定性是普遍存在的。人们对卫生政策和实践如何影响不确定性的语言表达知之甚少。这项研究期望产生关于传播对提供保健服务的影响的新知识。预期的结果包括实用的沟通策略、先进的误诊研究方法以及卫生界研究能力的增强。这将为政策变化提供信息，并改善诊断沟通和卫生服务效率，从而提供重大的社会、卫生和经济效益。

This project aims to examine the critical role and impact of communication on the diagnostic process in health settings. Uncertainty in communication is pervasive in healthcare. Little is known about how health policy and practice affect linguistic expressions of uncertainty. This research expects to generate new knowledge of the influence of communication on the delivery of health services. Expected outcomes include practical communication strategies, advanced research methods in misdiagnosis, and enhanced research capacity in the health community. This should provide significant social, health and economic benefits by informing policy changes, and improving diagnostic communication and health services efficiency.
