CDSS mitigation of cognitive bias includes forcing a comprehensive second look, standardizing care pathways, alerting to conflicting or missing data, and providing data-driven risk estimates. This reflects which description?

• A. Comprehensive Second Look; Care Pathways; Conflicting or Missing Data; Risk Estimates
• B. Anchoring and Premature Closure; Standardizes Care Pathways; Alerts to Disconfirming Data; Risk Estimates
• C. Premature Closure; Standardizes Care Pathways; Reliable Data; Risk Estimates
• D. Comprehensive Second Look; Care Pathways; Conflicting or Missing Data; Intuitive Judgments

Answer: (A)

CDSS mitigation of cognitive bias works by prompting a comprehensive reevaluation, standardizing care pathways, signaling when data conflict or are missing, and providing data-driven risk estimates. This combination is exactly described by listing Comprehensive Second Look, Care Pathways, Conflicting or Missing Data, and Risk Estimates. The comprehensive second look helps prevent premature conclusions, standardizing pathways reduces variation and overreliance on memory, alerts about conflicting or missing data surface issues that might otherwise be overlooked, and data-driven risk estimates give objective context for decisions. The other descriptions mix in terms like anchoring, premature closure, or intuitive judgments, which don’t align with the stated mitigation approach that emphasizes structured processes and objective data.
