Abstract

At the heart of healthcare stands the physician—a trusted guide, decision-maker, and healer. Their role, rooted in deep expertise and human connections, remains central even as the landscape around them shifts. The role of the physician has evolved from being an individual decision maker to an influencer within a highly specialized, complex organization. Understanding physicians’ decision-making requires understanding the context in which they work and live.
