Diagnostic Error Index - one institution's transparent effort to identify and act on diagnostic errors. Good example for others to follow Michael Perry, MD et al JournalofPediatrics jpeds.com/article/S0022-… And don't miss editorial Laura Zwaan Andrew Olson, MD jpeds.com/article/S0022-…

Patient Safety Watchdog The Leapfrog Group Funded for National Initiative on Preventing Harm from Diagnostic Error. This is big and will provide a major incentive for HCO’s to begin addressing Dx error! Really happy to be involved. ⁦Mark L Graber⁩ prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

This Patient Safety Awareness Week #PSAW2021 check out all these AHRQ resources for ↓ misdiagnosis & ↑ diagnostic excellence in health care Cutting edge stuff for researchers, policymakers, health systems, clinicians and patients ahrq.gov/patient-safety…

The debut stats for our DIAGNOSIS journal put us in the top third of gen’s med journals - Nice! Great place for your next manuscript + affordable open access.

Over 300 interventions have been proposed to address diagnostic error in the past decade; Nice to see 20 of them actually studied, but what about the other 280? We need more research on interventions!

Thanks to Kelly Gleason for highlighting why involving NURSES in diagnosis is so important. We need their input! tinyurl.com/kecvetzb

So glad to see our SIDM conference on diagnostic error back ‘in person’! Here’s Hardeep Singh presenting at our “Introduction to Dx Error” session.

SIDM Conference opening session focuses on disparities in health care, a critical issue for us in our work to improve diagnosis. Oprah’s film highlights the problems and the opportunities to address the problem.

Senator Amy Klobuchar addressing our SIDM Diagnostic Error Conference & telling her story of her almost-delayed diagnosis of breast cancer: She put off getting her mammogram because of COVID. Don’t put off screening tests!

SIDM’s conference theme this year is ‘The Future of Medicine”. One highlight are presentations from med students on their thoughts on this. Here is Andrew Boeing’s project - reflecting on our digital future. ⁦Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine⁩

Wonderful new tools from AHRQ to improve diagnosis in a project coordinated by ⁦Hardeep Singh MD⁩ and Chris Goeschel - MeasureDx, CalibrateDx, Team STEPPS for diagnosis, new patient tools and a series of issue briefs. ⁦Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine⁩

Congratulations to Dr Dhara Amin - the inaugural recipient of SIDM’s Emerging Leader (Rising Star) Award, and Dan Berg, inaugural recipient of the 2022 Award for Patient and Family Engagement”. ⁦⁦Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine⁩

One area with clear progress where diagnosis is improving: derm diseases in skin of color - thanks to Dr Aliya Courtney Hines for reviewing this field at the 2022 SIDM conference. ⁦Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine⁩

Congratulations and thanks to Ben Rosner and the UCSF team for compiling all of these resources. Improving calibration would be a HUGE help in addressing diagnostic error, and GoodDx has all the tools and ideas you'd need to help make that happen.#improvedx;

Very exciting news! I was awarded with a Vidi grant by ZonMw & NWO Nieuws. I’m looking forward to the next 5 years during which I'll work on improving the diagnostic process by studying the best strategies for physicians to collaborate with AI. @iMERR Erasmus MC Erasmus MC Public Health
