How does Dr. make decisions?

Dr. Ingrid Wukovits decides rationally, based on numbers and facts. In the Big Five profile, openness to new experiences is low and conscientiousness is high.

What does Dr. react critically to?

Above all when something touches Dr.’s core concerns: “A female candidate for the practice succession, with whom she’s already had several conversations, cancels for good at short notice” and “A new administrative portal from the social insurance system requires her to manually re-enter the same patient data she already has in the system.” The bias that shapes Dr.’s judgment most is “Availability Heuristic from Case Memory.”

Dr. Ingrid Wukovits

Family physician with a public-insurance contract and a doctor’s dispensary (Hausapotheke, the in-practice dispensary rural doctors may run), solo practice in southern Burgenland · Small municipality in the Güssing district (southern Burgenland), Austria

Anyone who comes to Dr. Ingrid Wukovits often hears the same diagnosis twice — once in dialect, with an image from everyday life, once in numbers and technical terms. For three decades she has run the only practice with a Hausapotheke for miles around, and for years has searched in vain for a successor. Digitally, she’s selective: what gives her time back for patients, she adopts right away; what only adds extra clicks, she considers badly designed.

Tech affinity

Discriminating, not dismissive: what matters to her is proven benefit, not the technology itself. She only approved the practice’s online appointment booking after running a three-month trial herself alongside the usual phone booking and calculating that, since then, fewer patients show up at the wrong time; a video-consultation tool, by contrast, she dropped again after a single test run with a shaky audio connection, because it cost her more effort explaining it than it was worth. She doesn’t fix technical faults herself — for that she calls her female assistant or the chamber’s IT hotline — but she insists on getting a precise explanation of what caused the problem before she keeps using a system in daily practice.

Defining bias

Her long years in practice have etched into her a tight web of recognized patterns — with a new set of symptoms, she first draws the comparison to the most similar case she’s treated herself, not to general statistics. That speeds up diagnosis with familiar patterns, but makes her hesitate longer than a guideline would call for with rare courses she’s never seen herself.

How she decides

Medically she decides on an evidence basis, but never from the screen alone — a look at the female patient’s own medical history, a call to a female specialist colleague in Oberwart when a case leaves her unsure, counts for her as part of due diligence, not as lost time. On business matters and in the search for a successor, deciding is harder for her, because there she depends on others playing along — whether someone applies, whether a female candidate stays or disappears again after the first conversation, she can look into, but she can’t force it. She writes out options with pros and cons by hand before speaking with the medical chamber or her female tax advisor, and deliberately doesn’t let herself be rushed in the process.

Fears

A female candidate for the practice succession, with whom she’s already had several conversations, cancels for good at short notice.
A new administrative portal from the social insurance system requires her to manually re-enter the same patient data she already has in the system.
At the Burgenland-wide physicians’ gathering, a female colleague from a neighboring district tells her that her own family-physician post still hasn’t been filled after the umpteenth round of advertising.

Motivations

A young female doctor who shadowed her for a few weeks years ago calls and asks whether she could work with her once a month on a trial basis, to get to know rural medicine better.
At the specialist clinic, her suspicion is confirmed — one she had formed from the patient history alone, without an expensive additional test having been necessary.
