Diagnostic Error in Medicine Conference, Nov. 4-6, New Orleans: Register Now

Registration is open for the Diagnostic Error in Medicine 11th Annual International Conference, which will take place in New Orleans on November 4-6. The AHRQ-sponsored conference will bring together physicians, patients, nurses, health care professionals, researchers, institutional leaders, and policymakers to showcase and share recent innovations to reduce error and improve the diagnostic process.

The 2015 National Academies report, Improving Diagnosis in Healthcare, recommended developing and deploying approaches to identify, learn from, and reduce diagnostic errors and near misses in clinical practice. The 2018 conference will be focused on this recommendation; this year’s theme is “Innovating to Improve Diagnosis” and promises to offer cutting edge topics for learning and discussion.
