  11. Contextual Errors • A contextual error occurs when a physician overlooks elements of a patient’s environment or behavior that are essential to planning appropriate care. In contrast to biomedical errors, which are not patient-specific, contextual errors represent a failure to individualize care. Weiner SJ, Schwartz A, Weaver F, Goldberg J, Yudkowsky R, Sharma G. Contextual Errors and Failures in Individualizing Patient Care: A Multicenter Study. Annals of Internal Medicine 2010;153(2):69-77 / 25

  12. Physicians probed fewer contextual than biomedical hints. • They provided error-free care more often in the uncomplicated encounters (73%) than in the biomedically (38%), contextually (22%), or biomedically and contextually (9%) complicated encounters. / 25

  15. Every individual has his/ger own health resources and risks related with the environment • Our medical approaches will not be successfull unless we take into account the context of the patient • There is no sense in advising a patient in powerty to eat a diet high in proteins and fiber! / 25

  17. “Well, yes, you are taking the pills, Arden. But howare you taking the pills?” • “I take the blue pill on one day, the white one thenext, and the pink pill on the third day.” • “Arden . . . why on earth would you do that?” • “It’s like you’ve been preaching to me, Doc: Moderation,moderation.” / 25

  18. In the solemn privacy ofthe examination room, I have asked my patients all mannerof intimate questions—about their sexual orientation; illicitdrug use; income and the affordability of medications;marital infidelity; the possibility of felonious behavior, as itmight have related to guilt and depression; or of wifebeatingand the abuse of children— but I have never in myrecollection asked a patient whether he could read or write. • Yet 1% of Americans are illiterate, and 30% to 40% areestimated to have inadequate or marginal health literacy / 25 LaCombe MA

  19. It is estimated that 50% of Americans read so poorlythat they cannot properly read prescription drug labels and3 of 4 people on welfare cannot read at all LaCombe MA. Contextual Errors. Annals of Internal Medicine 2010;153(2):126-127 / 25

  20. Also the availability of health resources are not same in all regions • Küçük şehirlerde, doğu ve güneydoğuda ve kırsal alanda sağlık personeli sayısı ve niteliği diğer bölgelere göre daha azdır. / 25
