TL;DR
The situated clinical cognition framework is to allow for moving between models, theories, and perspectives, as it does not presuppose a singular model of clinical thinking.
Abstract
The features characterizing study of clinical cognition in situ are formulated as: Re-cognition of context, culture, history and affect. Socializing and phenomenalistic elements are again included in the research agenda. Interest for representations: an analysis level is reserved for the symbols, rules and images relevant to define in models of clinical cognition. De-emphasis on computer modeling: investigations focus on the 'functional systems' in which computers are involved. Rootedness in classical philosophical problems: issues concerning situated clinical cognition are connected to the width of available theoretical literature. Belief in interdisciplinary studies: productive interactions between the new and traditional disciplines is anticipated, implying that new shared methods have to be developed. When scientific perspectives are broadened, a new balance has to be found between the relevance of the subject of study and methodological rigor. The situated clinical cognition framework is to allow for moving between models, theories, and perspectives, as it does not presuppose a singular model of clinical thinking.

It is proposed that the goals set forth by the proponents of SA can be attained only within the framework of symbolic systems, and the main body of empirical evidence supporting this view resides in the numerous symbol systems constructed in the past 35 years that have successfully simulated broad areas of human cognition.

25 Citations1990Eliot Freidson
Arguing that a desirable health care system must be based on trust in professional workers who are free to exercise discretionary judgment, the author concludes that policy should aim at strengthening professionalism and employ elements of the other models?especially those of the free market?with great caution.
