ABSTRACT

This article introduces the idea of ‘cognitive transfer experience’ as what can happen between medical personnel and patients when cognitive biases imbedded in medical record technology interfere with deeply listening to the patient. These life and death issues impact healthcare professionals and patients alike. It is suggested that the antidote for potentially disruptive cognitive biases, with or without technology involved, is the use of an Appreciative Voice, as a significant dimension of Appreciative Inquiry.
