Improving Diagnosis in Health Care
In 2015, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAM) released its landmark report, Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, identifying eight major goals for effecting progress on diagnostic error. The report has helped inform the work of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM) and its Coalition to Improve Diagnosis; the goals are listed below.
- Facilitate more effective teamwork in the diagnostic process among healthcare professionals, patients, and their families
- Enhance healthcare professional education and training in the diagnostic process
- Ensure that health information technologies support patients and healthcare professionals in the diagnostic process
- Develop and deploy approaches to identify, learn from, and reduce diagnostic errors and near misses in clinical practice
- Establish a work system and culture that supports the diagnostic process and improvements in diagnostic performance
- Develop a reporting environment and medical liability system that facilitates improved diagnosis by learning from diagnostic errors and near misses
- Design a payment and care delivery environment that supports the diagnostic process
- Provide dedicated funding for research on the diagnostic process and diagnostic errors
