Dr. Michael Andreae’s Manuscript Wins Best Paper of the Year Award

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Michael Andreae and his research team have been honored with the Best Paper of the Year award by the Journal of Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making for their manuscript titled, "Adapting Cognitive Task Analysis Methods for Use in a Large Sample Simulation Study of High-Risk Healthcare Events." This prestigious award recognizes their exceptional work in the field of medical decision-making.

The manuscript is part of an AHRQ-funded multi-center study led by Dr. Weinger at Vanderbilt University. It delves into the use of cognitive task analysis methods to study decision-making processes during simulated perioperative crises. By adapting cognitive interviews for a large-scale trial involving over 100 anesthesiologists, Dr. Andreae’s team has provided groundbreaking insights into how clinicians navigate high-stakes medical situations.

Congratulations to Dr. Andreae and his team for this outstanding achievement and for advancing our understanding of critical decision-making in healthcare.
