​Diagnostic Error

Diagnostic error is one of the most important safety problems in health care today and is particularly an issue in Internal Medicine specialties. It contributes to a significant proportion of serious clinical incidents in our health services yet substantive interventions are only now being established to address it. During this presentation the epidemiology, impact and costs of diagnostic error are discussed. Causes of diagnostic errors, including conditions at high risk of diagnostic error, are presented as well as possible approaches and resources available to avoid them.
