| Popis: | Traditionally, diagnosis is the basis for clinical decision-making and regarded as the guide to prognosis and treatment. Although some patients may particularly benefit such a diagnosis-oriented approach (e.g., patients with acute pathology for which effective treatment is available), this approach is not suitable or sufficient for others (e.g., patients without a diagnosis, patients with a diagnosis for which no treatment is available, and patients for whom the current treatment is insufficient). Furthermore, other factors than diagnosis or diagnosis-guided treatment are likely to influence an individual's outcome (prognosis), including biological, clinical, and social factors. The authors propose a prognosis-oriented approach as an alternative starting point for medical decision-making: not only ask yourself 'what is the explanation for my patient's complaint?', but also 'which factors contribute to the future outcome of this complaint?' and 'can I address these to benefit my patient's outcome?'. |
