ABSTRACT

This article proposes quantum thinking as an emerging cognitive model to address the growing complexity of healthcare systems. Based on principles of quantum physics, it allows for the simultaneous integration of clinical, contextual, and social trajectories, surpassing linear reasoning. Five dimensions applied to medical practice are described: interpretive simultaneity, strategic adaptability, contextual reading, uncertainty management, and observer awareness. Quantum thinking is presented as a transversal competence in clinical, educational, and management settings, aligned with the challenges of current primary care.
