- Abstract
The article provides information on a study which analyzed an educational intervention aimed at increasing physicians' skills in integrating the patient's context in assessment and management of care and thereby minimize the rate of contextual errors. It explains that contextual errors happens when a physician fails to identify the elements of a patient's environment or behavior, like access to care, that should be tackled to appropriately plan care. Between July 2008 and April 2009 and between August 2009 and April 2010, a quasi-randomized controlled trial was carried out among fourth-year medical students in internal medicine subinternships at the University of Illinois at Chicago or Jesse Brown Veterans Administration Medical Center. The findings are explained in detail.
