What do you do if your logical reasoning abilities in healthcare need improvement?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Logical reasoning is the ability to analyze and evaluate information, arguments, and evidence in a systematic and objective way. It is a crucial skill for healthcare professionals, who need to make sound decisions based on facts, data, and logic. However, logical reasoning is not a fixed trait that you either have or don't have. It is a skill that you can improve with practice, feedback, and reflection. In this article, you will learn some tips and strategies to enhance your logical reasoning abilities in healthcare.

1 Identify the problem

The first step to improve your logical reasoning is to clearly define the problem or question that you are trying to solve or answer. This will help you focus on the relevant information and avoid distractions or assumptions. You can use a problem-solving framework , such as PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome), to structure your problem and identify the key variables. For example, if you want to compare the effectiveness of two treatments for a condition, you can use PICO to specify the patient population, the interventions, the comparison group, and the outcome measure.

Since my first relevant professional experience in healthcare happened during the outbreak of the 2019's pandemics, I had the "privilege" of working in very unique projects with action-oriented teams. We all knew that every hour counted, so we always studied in deep the problem in question and we continued to monitor any "bottlenecks" that appeared. And that's beacause we knew how critical it would be if we started from the wrong point. We knew we didn't had much time to re-do the efforts, so our way to minimize that risk was giving emphasis in the aknowledgment of the problem.

Start by pinpointing where exactly your logical reasoning abilities need improvement. Is it in diagnosing patients, analyzing data, making treatment decisions, or something else? Example: Imagine you're trying to solve a puzzle, but you keep getting stuck at a certain point. You need to figure out which piece is causing the problem before you can move forward.

2 Gather the evidence

The next step is to collect and evaluate the evidence that supports or contradicts your problem or question. You can use various sources of evidence, such as scientific literature, clinical guidelines, expert opinions, patient feedback, and your own experience. However, you need to be critical and selective about the quality and reliability of the evidence. You can use a hierarchy of evidence, such as GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation), to rank the evidence based on its strength and validity. For example, a systematic review of randomized controlled trials is more trustworthy than a case report or an anecdotal observation.

Once you've identified the problem area, gather relevant information, data, and resources that can help you understand the situation better. This might involve researching medical literature, consulting with colleagues, or attending training sessions. Example: If you're struggling to understand a patient's symptoms, gather their medical history, conduct tests, and consult with specialists to gather all the necessary evidence.

3 Apply the logic

The third step is to apply the logic to the evidence and draw conclusions or recommendations based on your problem or question. You can use different types of logic, such as deductive, inductive, or abductive, depending on the nature and purpose of your reasoning. Deductive logic is when you derive a specific conclusion from a general premise or rule. For example, if all mammals have lungs, and humans are mammals, then humans have lungs. Inductive logic is when you infer a general conclusion from a specific observation or case. For example, if you observe that most patients with a condition respond well to a treatment, then you can conclude that the treatment is effective for that condition. Abductive logic is when you propose a plausible explanation for an observation or phenomenon. For example, if you notice that a patient has a fever, a rash, and joint pain, then you can hypothesize that the patient has an infection.

Use critical thinking skills to analyze the evidence you've gathered. Look for patterns, correlations, and potential causes and effects. Use logic and reasoning to form hypotheses and make educated decisions. Example: Just like putting together pieces of a puzzle, analyze each clue carefully and logically to figure out how they fit together to solve the overall picture.

4 Review the outcome

The final step is to review the outcome of your logical reasoning and assess its validity, accuracy, and relevance. You can use various methods to check your reasoning, such as asking for feedback, testing your assumptions, looking for alternative explanations, or applying your conclusions to different scenarios. You can also use a feedback loop, such as PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act), to monitor and improve your reasoning process and outcome. For example, you can plan your reasoning strategy, do your reasoning, check your reasoning outcome, and act on your reasoning outcome.

Sometimes we concentrate the effort in planning and execution, but better than that is the evaluation of the projects. Sometimes we don't have the tools to continue improving simply because we don't gather metadata.

After applying your logical reasoning skills, assess the outcomes of your decisions and actions. Did your approach lead to the desired results? If not, what can you learn from the experience to improve your reasoning abilities further? Example: After completing the puzzle, step back and review the whole picture. Did you solve it correctly? If not, figure out where you made mistakes and learn from them for the next puzzle.

Once someone decide to work in healthcare, one must not be afraid of math. That seems outdated, but since I started teaching, I see that more and more students have the wrong idea that they only need to have technical abilities. And the applied mathemathical knowledge emerges, they just see numbers, they can't interpret. That is a really big issue that I've been experiencing while teaching biostatistics for undergraduate students.
