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.

Fifteen years after to Err is Human: a success story to learn from.
This paper provides a historical profile of the central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) success story, comparing infection rates before and 15 years after the IOM report. It discusses the five elements essential to the national success in reducing CLABSI rates: a reliable and valid measurement system, evidence-based care practices, investment in implementation sciences, local ownership and peer learning communities, and coordination and alignment of CLABSI reduction efforts.
