Abstract:
Diagnostic error is increasingly identified as a concern in health care. The purposes of this article are to provide an understanding of diagnostic error and its contributing factors and to briefly review strategies to reduce errors. A literature review provided a definition of diagnostic error, a synopsis of diagnostic error prevalence and settings, systemic and individual factors contributing to diagnostic error, and cognitive biases and errors in diagnostic reasoning. Strategies to address diagnostic error are discussed. Diagnostic errors are prevalent across clinical settings, may result i

The authors studied 234 death cases in the intensive care unit for newborns in 2006–2018, and they found diagnostic errors in 18,3% of cases. 53,4% of the diagnostic errors were associated with unrecognized infectious diseases specific to the perinatal period. The authors found that the correct intravit

Abstract:
Diagnostic error is a common, serious problem that has received increased attention recently for its impact on both patients and providers. Presently, most graduate medical education programs do not formally address this topic. The authors developed and evaluated a longitudinal, multimodule resident curriculum about diagnostic error and medical decision making. Key components of the curriculum include demystifying the medical decision-making process, building skills in critical thinking, and providing strategies for diagnostic error mitigation. Special attention was paid to avoiding the second

AbstractDuring the 10-year period beginning in 1949 with publication of five articles in two radiology journals and UKs The Lancet, a California radiologist named L.H. Garland almost single-handedly shocked the entire medical and especially the radiologic community. He focused their attention on the fact now known and accepted by all, but at that time not previously recognized and acknowledged only with great reluctance, that a substantial degree of observer error was prevalent in radiologic interpretation. In the more than half-century that followed, Garland’s pioneering work has been affirme

Abstract The purpose of this article is to synthesise review evidence, practice and patient perspectives on interventions to reduce diagnostic error in emergency departments (EDs). A rapid review methodology identified nine systematic reviews for inclusion. Six practice interviews were conducted to identify local contextual insights and implementation considerations. Finally, patient perspectives were explored through a citizen panel with 11 participants. The rapid review found evidence for the following interventions: second opinion, decision aids, guided reflection and education. Practitione

The advent of AI-driven diagnostic tools has significantly transformed the landscape of early disease detection in healthcare. These innovations leverage advanced algorithms and data analytics to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce human error, and streamline patient care. This paper delves into the various AI-driven diagnostic technologies currently employed in healthcare, their impact on early disease detection, and prospects. Key findings highlight the profound impact of AI tools in identifying diseases at earlier stages, leading to a significant improvement in patient outcomes and a potent

Abstract:
SummaryThe effect of errors that occur in the diagnosis of intramammary infectious mastitis on the precision of experiments measuring the efficacy of mastitis therapy has been investigated. Diagnostic errors within the range found by experienced workers can create large biases in the apparent cure rate of therapy particularly at cure rates of less than 0·5. Using confirmed methods of diagnosis rather than single samples and reducing the probabilities of false positive and false negative diagnoses to 0·01 and 0·05 respectively, the biases in the apparent cure rates are reduced to acceptable lev

Abstract Background Clinical medicine has long recognized the potential for cognitive bias in the development of new treatments, and in response developed a tradition of blinding both clinicians and patients to address this specific concern. Although cognitive biases have been shown to exist which impact the accuracy of clinical diagnosis, blinding the diagnostician to potentially misleading information has received little attention as a possible solution. Recently, within the forensic sciences, the control of contextual information (i.e. information apart from the objective test results) has
