Background: Diagnostic errors are common, costly, and harmful. Cognitive biases and suboptimal clinical reasoning are contributing factors for diagnostic error. A diagnostic time-out (DTO) is a structured tool to optimize clinical reasoning, prioritize the differential diagnosis, and communicate diagnostic uncertainty in high-risk situations susceptible to diagnostic error. Purpose: To design and implement an interactive educational […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: To date, attempts at estimating diagnostic error (DE), as defined as missed, incorrect, or delayed diagnoses, have focused on the identification of all types of adverse events, not specifically DE. Retrospectively identifying and ascertaining DE for hospitalized patients has been further challenged by (1) variability in operational definitions of DE; (2) use of non-standardized […]
