Challenges and opportunities from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) research summit on improving diagnosis: a proceedings review.
AHRQ held a research summit in the fall of 2016, inviting members from a diverse collection of organizations, both inside and outside of government, to share their suggestions regarding what is known about diagnosis and the challenges that need to be addressed. Among the goals of the summit were to learn from the insights of participants and examine issues associated with definitions of diagnostic error and gaps in the evidence base.

A novel schema to enhance data quality of patient safety event reports.
In this study, the researchers designed a patient safety event (PSE) similarity searching model based on semantic similarity measures, and proposed a novel schema of PSE reporting system which can effectively learn from previous experiences and timely inform the subsequent actions. Their system will not only help promote the report qualities but also serve as a knowledge base and education tool to guide healthcare providers in terms of preventing the recurrence of PSEs.
