Learning How and Learning What: Effects of Tacit and Codified Knowledge on Performance Improvement Following Technology Adoption (2003, background): “Recognition of the need to allow time to come down the learning curve is an integral part of evaluating an innovation in health care (Gawande, 2002; Kopacz, Neal, & Pollock, 1996; Pisano, Bohmer, & Edmondson, 2001).”
The Dark Side of Choice: When Choice Impairs Social Welfare (2006, background): “In this respect, patients are believed to know their preferred treatment better than anybody else, including the physicians (Gawande 2002; Schneider 1998).”
Conditions for intuitive expertise: a failure to disagree. (2009, background): “Descriptions of diagnostic thinking in medicine emphasize the intuitive ability of some physicians to realize that the characteristics of a case do not fit into any familiar category and call for a deliberate search for the true diagnosis (Gawande, 2002; Groopman, 2007).”
Maps of Bounded Rationality: Psychology for Behavioral Economics (2003, background): “The proverbial master chess player who walks past a game and declares “white mates in three” without slowing is performing intuitively (Simon and William G. Chase, 1973), as is the experienced nurse who detects subtle signs of impending heart failure (Gary Klein, 1998; Atul Gawande, 2002).”
A Review of Literature: Individual Blame vs. Organizational Function Logics in Accident Analysis (2008, background): “The legal system puts the doctor and the patient one against the other (Gawande, 2002), forcing both to give an unrealistic version of the facts.”
Whose job is it anyway? a study of human-robot interaction in a collaborative task (2004, background): “Gawande (2002), for example, reported that patients preferred the judgment of a cardiologist for interpreting electrocardiogram reports even when an automated system provided correct responses 20% more often than the cardiologist.”
Measuring patient-centered communication in patient-physician consultations: theoretical and practical issues. (2005, background): “These qualities often appear in the clinical narratives written by physicians and patients (Montgomery-Hunter, 1991; Gowande, 2002), but not yet in quantitative research.”
Resilience: Accounting for the Noncomputable (2009, background): “The annals of medicine are replete with accidents that occur because the protocol of medicine privileges the decisions of doctors, often linked to the dominant paradigm of treatment, over the contradictory views of nurses, therapists, patients, and their families (Gawande 2002).”
Necessary Evils and Interpersonal Sensitivity in Organizations (2005, background): “Although a physician may intellectually understand that inserting a large needle into a vein can be a painful procedure, the patient's pain will be even more palpable to the doctor if the patient conspicuously winces in pain, as opposed to stoically enduring the procedure in silence (Gawande, 2002).”
A perspective on judgment and choice: mapping bounded rationality. (2003, background): “A concluding section follows.”
Developing Leaders for Decision Making Under Stress: Wildland Firefighters in the South Canyon Fire and Its Aftermath (2005, background): “…that separate the choices that people actually make from what would be posited by rational-agent models reveal that biases can be reduced when managers draw upon intuition that is built upon prolonged practice and effective use of feedback to learn from practice (Klein, 1998; Gawande, 2002).”
