Variation in clinical practice: forests and trees revisited.

Christopher J D Wallis1,2,3, C David Naylor1,4, Allan S Detsky1,4,5.   

Abstract

Variations in clinical practice are commonly viewed as a sign of uneven quality of care and attributed to provider self-interest. However, patient preferences, physician practice patterns, and diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty also cause variations. Greater attention to both doctor-patient interactions and limits to the available evidence might enable more effective assessment and improvement of health-care quality.
