Register To Attend an IDEAS Project Webinar: Diagnostic safety events are common and pervasive across all healthcare settings. AHRQ has developed several resources to improve diagnostic safety: Calibrate Dx, Measure Dx, and the Toolkit for Engaging Patients in Diagnostic Safety.
Toolkit for Engaging Patients To Improve Diagnostic Safety
Toolkit for Engaging Patients To Improve Diagnostic Safety: Diagnostic errors occur in all care settings and one in three patients will experience a diagnostic error firsthand. Research suggests that communication breakdowns during the patient-provider encounter are a leading contributor to diagnostic errors. To promote enhanced communication and information sharing within the patient-provider encounter, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has developed a toolkit. This toolkit is designed to help patients, families, and health professionals work together as partners to improve diagnostic safety.
Measure Dx: A Resource To Identify, Analyze, and Learn From Diagnostic Safety Events
Measure Dx: A Resource To Identify, Analyze, and Learn From Diagnostic Safety Events: Diagnostic errors are major contributors to patient harm. Strategies to identify and analyze these events are still emerging, but several show promise for use in operational settings. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has developed Measure Dx to help healthcare organizations identify diagnostic safety events and gain insights for improvement.
Calibrate Dx: A Resource To Improve Diagnostic Decisions
Calibrate Dx: A Resource To Improve Diagnostic Decisions: Delayed, wrong, and missed diagnoses are major contributors to patient harm. Lifelong learning is essential for achieving and maintaining diagnostic excellence. Diagnostic excellence involves not just making a correct and timely diagnosis but also doing so while using the fewest resources necessary, optimizing patient experiences, and managing uncertainty. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has developed Calibrate Dx to provide clinicians with guidance for evaluating and calibrating diagnostic performance for the purposes of learning and improvement.
2023 Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference on Precision Emergency Medicine: Development of a policy-relevant, patient-centered research agenda
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38779704/
AHRQ-supported researchers recommend a strategic research agenda for health professionals and educators to create a training framework to integrate precision medicine into emergency medicine. In the first of two articles published in Academic Emergency Medicine, the authors presented the findings of a national consensus conference convened to define precision emergency medicine, develop an evidence-based research agenda and identify educational gaps. Conference activities led to a definition of precision emergency medicine—using information technology to deliver acute care effectively—and the development of key research questions for a 10-year precision emergency medicine research agenda. In the second article, researchers identified key drivers of integrating precision medicine into clinical practice. A third article, published in Academic Emergency Medicine Education & Training, presented the eight education research questions that reflect challenges and opportunities for precision medicine education in emergency medicine.

Implementing medical imaging AI: issues to consider
Implementing medical imaging AI: issues to consider: As AI is deployed in clinical centers across the U.S., one important consideration is to assure that models are fair and perform equally across patient groups and populations. To better understand the fairness of medical imaging AI, researchers trained over 3,000 models spanning multiple model configurations, algorithms, and clinical tasks. Their analysis of these models reinforced some previous findings about bias in AI algorithms and uncovered new insights about deployment of models in diverse settings.

“Recently, courts in North Dakota and Georgia overturned the states’ abortion bans. The impact of these reversals, however, may be short lived, as is the case in Georgia, which was only in effect for a week. Even if the court decision is sustained for longer periods, access to abortion in the state may never be as available as it was before the bans took effect.”

KFF Health News' 'What the Health?': The Health of the Campaign
The 2024 presidential race is taking on a familiar tone — with Democrats accusing Republicans of wanting to ban abortion and repeal the Affordable Care Act and Republicans insisting they have no such plans. Voters will determine whom they believe. Meanwhile, for the second time in a month, a state judge overturned an abortion ban, but few expect the decision to settle the matter. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call, and Anna Edney of Bloomberg News join KFF Health News chief Washington correspondent Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more.

KFF Health News' 'What the Health?': Yet Another Promise for Long-Term Care Coverage
As part of her presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris has rolled out a plan for Medicare to provide in-home long-term care services. The proposal would fill a longtime need for families trying to simultaneously care for young children and older parents, but its enormous price tag makes it a promise unlikely to be fulfilled. Meanwhile, a growing number of Republican candidates up and down the ballot facing voter backlash over their support for abortion restrictions are trying to reinvent their positions. Shefali Luthra of The 19th, Jessie Hellmann of CQ Roll Call, and Joanne Kenen of Johns Hopkins University and Politico join KFF Health News’ Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more.

Dual process models of clinical reasoning: the central role of knowledge in diagnostic expertise. October 9, 2024
https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/dual-process-models-clinical-reasoning-central-role-knowledge-diagnostic-expertise
Dual process models of clinical reasoning: the central role of knowledge in diagnostic expertise.
Norman G, Pelaccia T, Wyer P, et al. J Eval Clin Pract. 2024;30(5):788-796.
Diagnostic reasoning is frequently discussed in terms of System 1 (thinking fast) and System 2 (thinking slow). The authors of this review present evidence against the claim that diagnostic error stems solely from System 1 thinking. They conclude that errors originate from both System 1 and System 2 thinking. Errors typically occur due to lack of access to the appropriate knowledge, and neither system is essential to the process of diagnostic reasoning.
Defects in value associated with hospital-acquired conditions: how improving quality could save U.S. healthcare $50 billion. October 9, 2024
https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/defects-value-associated-hospital-acquired-conditions-how-improving-quality-could-save-us
Defects in value associated with hospital-acquired conditions: how improving quality could save U.S. healthcare $50 billion.
Padula WV, Pronovost PJ. J Patient Saf. 2024;20(7):512-515.
Despite considerable health system efforts and governmental financial penalties, hospital-acquired conditions (HAC) continue to be a source of patient harm and organizational cost. Instead of the current model of financial penalties and non-payment for low-performing hospitals, the authors recommend rewarding high-performing hospitals and development of centers of excellence. They suggest the investment in HAC prevention would be less than costs associated with treatment, in addition to keeping patients safe from harm.
Diagnostic discordance, uncertainty, and treatment ambiguity in community-acquired pneumonia: a national cohort study of 115 U.S. Veterans Affairs hospitals. October 9, 2024
https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/diagnostic-discordance-uncertainty-and-treatment-ambiguity-community-acquired-pneumonia
Diagnostic discordance, uncertainty, and treatment ambiguity in community-acquired pneumonia: a national cohort study of 115 U.S. Veterans Affairs hospitals.
Jones BE, Chapman AB, Ying J, et al. Ann Intern Med. 2024;177(9):1179-1189.
An accurate diagnosis of pneumonia ensures that appropriate treatment can be administered in a timely manner. In this large retrospective study, researchers compared hospital admission and discharge diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia. More than half of patients had a discordant diagnosis at discharge. EHR notes described more uncertainty for patients with discordance. This study highlights the importance of understanding diagnostic uncertainty in pneumonia-related care.

EvidenceNOW: EvidenceNOW
Primary care practices in Virginia that implemented AHRQ’s EvidenceNOW Model increased the use of recommended screening instruments for unhealthy alcohol use by 41.6 percent in the six months after they received practice facilitation that included tailored education, tools and assistance with workflows, according to an AHRQ-funded study published in JAMA Health Forum. During the same period, clinic-based counseling for unhealthy alcohol use improved by 35.6 percent. Given the number of people treated in the participating practices, this intervention resulted in an additional 171,500 patients being screened annually for unhealthy alcohol use. AHRQ’s EvidenceNOW: Managing Unhealthy Alcohol Use initiative is based on the EvidenceNOW Model, which is designed to help primary care practices increase their capacity for quality improvement with the goals of improving patient and practice health.

A new topic brief from AHRQ presents four case studies illustrating how primary care practices can effectively engage with their communities to support whole-person care. Whole-person care is a person-centered approach that considers the broader factors influencing health outcomes and emphasizes longitudinal relationships and comprehensive interdisciplinary, team-based care. Supporting whole-person care in primary care practices can increase access to care and quality of care and improve patient health outcomes and healthcare utilization. The brief was developed by AHRQ’s Academy, which provides topic briefs to support the integration of behavioral health and primary care.
