The imperative to address diagnostic safety.
Diagnostic errors are likely to impact most of us in our lifetime. The author discusses two studies pointing to the vastness of the challenge and the urgency to act now. He also discusses other aspects of this issue and highlights two current AHRQ dedicated research opportunities on diagnostic safety: one to look at the incidence and causes of diagnostic errors in ambulatory care, and the second to look at improvement strategies and interventions.
