Figure 1 From surprising observations to a practical, person-centered model of medicine: an abduction-based approach.
Notes: Abduction: on the basis of arguments (background), surprising observations lead to the proposal of an explanatory hypothesis that, if it were true, would make the observations understandable. This hypothesis leads to a new model, making it possible to design empirical tests aimed to validate the hypothesis. A validation of the initial hypothesis may lead to a change in paradigm: replacement of the EBM-based paradigm of medicine by a person-centered model of care.
