The book discusses 60 different types of biases and errors with clinical cases, and knowledge of strategies to mitigate them―a concept known as ‘cognitive debiasing’ that has the potential
to reduce diagnostic error, and therefore, morbidity and mortality. It aims to help the readers during assessment of patients in the emergency department. Each chapter includes 4 cases
illustrating the bias, error or barrier discussed, followed by a potential solution.

This book helps in polishing the thinking and behavior of the readers so to potentially enhance their clinical competence in emergency department.
