Abstract: 

Health care and community-based organizations continue to face uncertainty, with shifting policies, funding instability, and mounting operational challenges that require high-stakes decisions with incomplete information. Building on the foundations introduced in part one on April 8, 2026, this session focuses on applying decision intelligence frameworks in practice, helping teams strengthen decision quality, avoid cognitive traps, and translate insights into measurable impact. 

About this event: 

Every day, health care professionals and leaders make complex decisions, often with limited data and high emotional load that have real consequences for staff, patients, and communities. In part two of this series, participants will move from concepts to application building on the Decision Intelligence 4 Health framework introduced in part one.  

This interactive workshop provided an opportunity to apply structured decision-making approaches to real-world challenges. Attendees applied structured decision processes to their own decision challenges, heard from other healthcare professionals on their decision challenges, practiced aligning decisions with values and goals, and identified next steps for making decisions within their workplace setting.   

If you are interested in learning about high-stakes decision making, we encourage you to watch the recording from part one and review the materials from part two below. 

This workshop is intended for: 

Health care and community leaders, operational managers, program staff, and others committed to improving organizational decision-making, especially in environments marked by uncertainty, policy change, and complex trade-offs. 

At the end of the workshop, attendees were able to: 

  • Apply structured decision-making frameworks to a real-world decision challenge 
  • Identify and address cognitive biases and reasoning traps in team-based decision processes 
  • Use practical tools to improve decision quality, alignment, and follow-through in your organizational context 

The speaker will be: 

Tomás J. Aragón, MD, DrPH, Adjunct Faculty and Impact Fellow at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health
