Certainty
Captions available
The idea
Certainty is the level of sureness that a clinical action will produce the intended outcome, and it is the key criterion for the quality of the knowledge underlying that action.
In practice
Two supported actions: one that reliably produces its outcome, one that often does not.
Where people slip
Certainty is about the knowledge, not the clinician's feeling. Confidence and certainty are not the same thing.
