5 Resources to Help Mitigate Diagnostic Error

New analysis of national data by CRICO and the Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute Center for Diagnostic Excellence found that across all clinical settings an estimated 795,000 Americans die or are permanently disabled by diagnostic error each year. Here are five resources to explore the issue and help mitigate the risks for you and your patients.

  1. Burden of Serious Harms from Diagnostic Error in the USA
  2. Case Study: Multiple Amputations Follow Prolonged ED Stay
  3. Case Study: Lack of Follow Up for Incidental Finding Results in Poor Outcome for Patient
  4. Reducing the Occurrence of Malpractice Cases Involving Inadequate Patient Assessment
  5. Bringing Malpractice Data to Bear on the Challenge of Diagnostic Errors
