Diagnostic Errors: Under-appreciated, Under-reported, and Under-researched.
Diagnostic errors, were given relatively little attention, compared with the effort invested in treatment errors. However, erroneous diagnoses continue to be quite prevalent (10%-15% in every setting investigated), and are often associated with substantial patient harm including increased mortality and frequent permanent disability. ⋯ Research devoted to misdiagnosis remains difficult to perform and insufficient in scope, but the search for the optimal means to improve diagnostic accuracy continues. Newly achieved insights regarding diagnostic errors are presented, and essential system and individual approaches to improve diagnostic accuracy are proposed.
