What are tests for? The implications of stuttering steps along the US patient pathway
Gendered Uncertainty and Variation in Physicians’ Decisions for Coronary Heart Disease
Nonmedical factors and diagnostic certainty contribute to variation in clinical decision making, but the process by which this occurs remains unclear. We examine how physicians’ interpretations of patient sex-gender affect diagnostic certainty and, in turn, decision making for coronary heart disease. Data are from a factorial experiment of 256 physicians who viewed 1 of 16 video vignettes with different patient-actors presenting the same symptoms…
Influences of organizational features of healthcare settings on clinical decision making
A proliferating literature documents cross-national variation in medical practice and seeks to explain observed differences in terms of the presence of certain kinds of healthcare systems, economic, and cultural differences between countries. Less is known about how providers themselves understand these influences and perceive them as relevant to their clinical work. Using qualitative data from a cross-national factorial experiment in the United …
Fundamental Causality
What do physicians gain (and lose) with experience? Qualitative results from a cross-national study of diabetes
Examining Critical Health Policy Issues within and beyond the Clinical Encounter
Among notable issues in health care policy and practice over the past 50 years have been those centered on the changing dynamics in clinical encounters, predominantly the relationship between physicians and patients and access to health care. Patient roles have become more active, diverse, long-term, and risk-based, while patient-provider relationships are multifaceted, less paternalistic, and more pivotal to health outcomes. Extensive literature…
Physician Cognitive Processing as a Source of Diagnostic and Treatment Disparities in Coronary Heart Disease
Literature on health disparities documents variations in clinical decision-making across patient characteristics, physician attributes, and among health care systems. Using data from a vignette-based factorial experiment of 256 primary care providers, we examine the cognitive basis of disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). We explore whether previously observed disparities are due to physicians (1) not fully c…
Bridging divides
Bridging divides: patient and public involvement on both sides of the Atlantic This themed section grew out of a series of three British-American medical sociology conferences, the most recent of which was convened in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2008.The two previous meetings took place in the UK: the first at Royal Holloway College, London University in 1999, and the second at the University of Edinburgh in 2006.This series of small residential me…
Prevalence and Correlates of Sexual Activity and Function in Women
What happens along the diagnostic pathway to CHD treatment? Qualitative results concerning cognitive processes
Extensive research on health disparities documents persistent differential diagnosis and treatment of many conditions according to patient characteristics, physician attributes, and healthcare systems. Less is known about how physicians arrive at their decisions. We use qualitative data from a vignette-based factorial experiment to examine how physicians reason through and account for their clinical decisions, and how variations arise despite the…
How are patient characteristics relevant for physicians' clinical decision making in diabetes? An analysis of qualitative results from a cross-national factorial experiment
Using Focus Groups to Improve the Validity of Cross-National Survey Research
In this article, the authors demonstrate how qualitative methods can form a foundation for quantitative research by improving instrument validity, informing the data collection process, and improving cost-effectiveness in a study of physician decision making. To test terminology, applicability, and comprehension of a quantitative questionnaire for doctors in the United States and United Kingdom, each country's researchers conducted physician focu…
Ambiguities of chronic illness management and challenges to the medical error paradigm
On practices of 'good doctoring
Questions pertaining to patient adherence and provider roles are part of the classical repertoires in sociological and health services research. While extensive research programmes consider why patients do not follow medical advice, less is known about how practitioners assess patient adherence. Similarly, there has been much work on provider roles changing with the organisation of healthcare, but less attention to the ways providers conceptualis…
Toward Some Fundamentals of Fundamental Causality
The concept of “fundamental causality” has gained increasing attention as a way of understanding the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and health outcomes. Using enthnographic data from a comparative study of two diabetes clinics, the authors further develop the fundamental cause concept in three ways. First, they provide an exposition of the constituent claims implied by an assertion of fundamental causality. Second, they show how …
Assessment, Objectivity, and Interaction
Much of the daily work of professional organizations is accomplished via interaction between representatives of those institutions and laypeople. Scholars of talk in institutional settings have argued that lay-professional interaction is often assumed mistakenly to operate as a neutral conduit for professionals to gain information relevant to their work. I use the case of doctor-patient interaction to examine how patient compliance with diabetes …
