THE CLINICAL JUDGMENT MEASUREMENT MODEL
The Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) identifies six cognitive skills needed to make appropriate clinical
judgments. Complete the following section using the CJMM and reflecting on all the data/cues (Assessment,
Labs/Diagnostics, Prescriptions/Orders and Patient Information) from your assigned patient.
