Addressing the challenge of communicating uncertainty in diagnosis

该项目旨在审查通信在卫生环境中对诊断过程的关键作用和影响。沟通的不确定性在医疗保健领域无处不在。关于卫生政策和实践如何影响不确定的语言表达，人们知之甚少。这项研究期望产生关于通信对卫生服务提供的影响的新知识。预期成果包括实用的沟通战略、先进的误诊研究方法以及提高卫生界的研究能力。这将为政策变化提供信息，并提高诊断沟通和卫生服务的效率，从而带来显著的社会、健康和经济利益。

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.
