The purpose of the papers was to develop, based on research conducted to date, more resources to improve diagnostic safety and quality, during a time when research to improve diagnostic safety was still an emerging field as compared to research to understand and prevent treatment-related mishaps. AHRQ’s Diagnostic Safety Issue Briefs provide accessible, evidence-based guidance to support healthcare systems in advancing diagnostic safety and quality. Each brief describes key concepts, examines emerging challenges, and highlights approaches that can be readily applied in practice. Explore the resources below to deepen your understanding and identify strategies that can strengthen diagnostic performance across your organization. Understanding the AI Wave: Foundational Knowledge for Improving Diagnosis and Beyond demystifies core artificial intelligence concepts and offers real-world examples to build foundational understanding. Grounded in evidence and informed by lessons from other high-risk industries, this issue brief provides practical, actionable guidance for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and patients.
