Description

Diagnostic errors are largely underreported and historicaly difficult to measure yet remain a significant cause for patient harm. The Safer Dx tool is an instrument to aid in the identification of these errors or missed opportunities. The National Academy of Medicine published a report in 2015 calling out the importance in not only the measurement of diagnostic errors but also providing a framework to continually learn through feedback.
